Leucorrhinia sp
One of the Whitefaces. I don't believe it is Hudsonian, as the abdominal markings appear rather thin.

This should be unlinked from the other two photos as they aren't the same species.

Crimson-ringed whiteface
This is a female with no yellow spot on the side of S4. Combined with small dorsal abdominal spots and location where it was photographed, it seems to be the only species that fits.
