20150615 098 SERIES - Midland Clubtail Dragonfly.jpg

Ottawa West

Two images of this Dragonfly. I'm not sure of its name (ID). Any help would be appreciated. (My first closeup with my new toy, the D7200)

Thanks to Christine,Sadik and Pierre for help with the I.D. Right now it seems to be a toss-up between a Cobra Clubtail and a Midland Clubtail with the Midland in the lead. Some limited research on my part also suggests a Midland. After some further discussions, all agreed that it is a Midland.

Super sharp; great bg...I'd say YOUR new toy was working just fine, too, Hank! I initially thought this might be a Frosted Whiteface (Leucorrhinia frigida); but now I am not sure.
