Seen across the water from the bright, red faced male seen first on this visit. Black on the top of the last segments. Legs more brown above, pale black below. Wing veins in many of the red faced seen, appear darker.

Day four visit: Meadowhawks were very skittish on this visit. The warblers, and fly catchers, were busy catching whatever they could grab. Two bright mosaic darners still in the area; but no luck with photos.

During 4 visits, I saw none that resembled a Ruby Meadowhawk.
No dirty-brown faces, or the slightly curved, thin hamules.

Over-all, abdomens appeared more slender, with a slightly thicker end.
In many, black triangles appeared slightly smaller, black above the abdomen, or smudged.
Many of the wings appeared fresh, and sparkled from top views, others cloudier from the underside.
Some of the males were mud covered which dulled color and hid detail.
Many had wing damage which helped to compare some when seen again.
Females had partially red to full red/orange faces.
One had a white face, with bluish lower eyes.
