Thanks! Any idea if it's male or female? Some of the female images I've seen have had some pink on the wings? This one had a dusting of pink color, but not like some of the others I've seen on this site.

female
The color is variable in both sexes. Notice the plump abdomen compared to the thinner and longer abdomen of the male linked below.
Thanks
