Coordinator notes: Your suggested ID is correct...looks like a male...the one in the top photo looks to be a female. Thanks much for your observation and keep us posted as you observe them beyond...this year and next...especially look to see if you see any later on in August that would indicate a second flight since this is an early seasonal year.
