Very different to the other Southern Hawker I've managed to get a shot of (male and female difference maybe), but a quick Google search suggest you may be right

Really crappy quality (sorry), but I'm chuffed as they're the first in-flight shots I've managed so I'm posting them anyway. Eighteen of the damn things flying around at once and this is the best I could manage with over 200 shots
Southern Hawker and a Migrant Hawker (I think).

I know that they are the same Mark ……. but I reckon there must be room for ssp with Damselflies
here is one that I have "labeled" White-legged, just to confuse (myself)!!!
versus Blue_Featherlegs

Migrant Hawkers - this species allows great opportunities for in flight shots. Just stand and watch and you will soon spot where they hover.
