Fly_girl,
That link wouldn't show me a pic at all. Says something about the picture being hotlinked and stolen, etc...

That one wouldn't work, maybe this one will, if it doesn't, just Google Images of male Blue Dashers

Fly_Girl! You DID it! Thanks for the ID. Case solved, and will post, poste haste (or as soon as I get home to my datastick). Want to send the best pic possible. Peter Piper....

Again, THANK YOU et al for the ID

P.S. With a Genus & Family name like that, I truly thought you were joking!
