This individual is definitely an immature male based upon the "claspers" (terminal appendages) at the end of its abdomen. The following page on Bug Guide features good close-up photos of Eastern Pondhawk male- and female terminal appendages: http://bugguide.net/node/view/577 (see section entitled, "Gender ID")

This could be either an immature male, or a mature female.
