Any ID for this dragonfly? It look very familier, but I just can't place it. About the size of a Skimmer dragonfly. Thanks.

Strange, we can't place it
We originally thought Whiteface, Leucorrhinia but couldn't pin it down. Now we wonder if it might be a Striped Meadowhawk. Larry may recognize it.

EDIT: Looks like pallipes doesn't make it to Minnesota. Here's Odonata Central's map
