Roseate Skimmer Dragonfly

Could be. I saw a female Roseate the other day, had no idea what it was. Just assumed they were all pink and purple. :)

I could be wrong on my identification. I'm using Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America, though, and it closely resembles the illustration in that book. KFG says "common in southern areas and often appearing quickly at temporary habitat. . . ." It goes on to say that males change color as they mature, the thorax starting as brown and turning to lavender. So maybe these are young males who have strayed from their typical habitat? Or are they some other dragonfly entirely?

Pretty Dragon, but are you sure on ID? I've never seen one that color before and according to Bugguide.net, their range is the southern U.S., not that animals follow maps.
