This is what I was originally thinking. The purple sheen = Little Glassywing
but
there isn't white noticeable at the base of the antennal clubs. Gold head = Dun
but the strong markings and the purple sheen don't seem to fit, even for a
female.
So far I have 2 votes for Little Glassywing and 3 for Dun (extremely fresh
female). One of the replies gave some great detailed info and a link (see
below)
which has me going with Dun.

I shot this a couple of hours ago in Henderson County. I have some thoughts on
what it is but it's needs to be a definitive ID because it will probably be a
BAMONA record so I'd like some opinions from those of you that know about such
things. .
