Dragonfly ID correction

Need to correct the ID of the dragonfly from Effingham IL

Should have looked at the pictures more closely.  White along the sides of the abdomen are separated, not solid.

So this is a female common Whitetail, not 12 spotted Skimmer - even though it has 12 spots on the wings.

Thanks to Bill Edwards for keeping a close watch and also being so helpful. I have really learned so much from him.
