Gomphus exilis
Abdomen has dorsal yellow stripe along full length. It blended so well that only the reflection of the wings caught attention. Note the blue/gray eyes, brown thorax, yellow stripe on all segments. The only widespread eastern species with such a complete stripe. Abdomen narrow with only slightly expanded club on S8 & S9.
City maintained retention pond.
