Two photos of a beautiful pondhawk, but I don't know which kind .... maybe it's either a female Eastern Pondhawk or a Great Pondhawk. Can someone let me know which it is and if it's male or female? I photographed a male Eastern Pondhawk before and it had different colors. Help requested ~ thanks!

one other different photo ...
In my last group of dragonfly photos, all were replied to except Photo #776256. Did you see it? Any thoughts? Sorry to keep bugging you but very grateful for your help, Nancy

Thank you!
Now I have a photo of one male & one female ... and I'm happy I had been able to narrow it down to one of the Pondhawks, at least I'm making some progress ... slow but sure! Grateful for the help!
