Image of Roseate Skimmer
Description:
I'm not at all sure on this ID, so this is still only a guess. I've never seen this dragonfly before. Unfortunately, I was able to get only a single photo before it flew up into the trees late in the afternoon. I did not see any coloration on its wings. @greglasley Any chance you might be able to ID from these crummy pics? One is the cropped image, and the second has only had contrast and brightness adjusted to bring out the patterns on the thorax. No color changes were made.
