Common Green Darner? - Anax junius

Common Green Darner? - Anax junius
Pennsylvania, USA
August 7, 2012
Size: 3.5 - 3.75 in. (wingspan)
As implied in the title, I'm guessing that this dragonfly is a Common Green Darner (Anax junius), and I would appreciate if anyone could confirm if it is one or not. I have other pictures of this individual, so if needed, I will be able to supply them.

I think so
But I'm no authority. But it looks to have the color pattern and the "bullseye" at the top of the head. Wait for someone else to confirm.

Yep
That's right. It's a male.
