"This is a smaller, more delicate, but widely distributed meadowhawk. Its face is yellowish, becoming red in older males. The thorax is darker in front and greenish brown laterally, with no markings. The wings are clear, with a slight hint of amber at the extreme base in each wing. The legs are pale yellow with no black. The abdomen is uniform brown, but becomes red, along with the front of the thorax, in mature males." (Abbott, p. 302)
