Northern Spreadwing: Lestes disjunctus ? (Unidentified Spreadwings A)

These spreadwings were photographed at the same location, along a narrow irrigation canal alongside the southern loop of the Willard Springs Trail at Conboy Lake NWR........July 28, 2006. I'm thinking that the lower photo possibly represents a northern spreadwing because the lower appendages of the abdomen appear long and straight from this angle.
