Sympetrum ambiguum
A pastel blue forehead and face, bluish eyes and a gray and brown striped thorax distinguish it from other meadowhawks. Females are similar but the red of the abdomen is replaced by brown.
Most often found near temporary woodland ponds and swamps. This one was photographed at the constructed wetlands at Phinizy Swamp Nature Park near Augusta (Richmond County), GA.
This is my first documented spotting for this species.
