male or female?

paler than my earlier example but I read that they can change colour in different weather to regulate body temp - or perhaps the colour difference is gender-related?

Description

The other day I uploaded a observation of a red coloured damsel fly, here is a black coloured damsel fly which is often seen with the red ones.

I included two photos, one a crop to emphasis the details of its face, with the other showing the flys entire body.
