Moved from White-headed Prominent. There are three species of Symmerista in eastern North America which cannot be separated without examination of the male eighth abdominal sternite. Range would support this being albifrons, but I'd like to move all images w/o sternite examination to the genus page until I have to opportunity to sort through them more carefully.
