It could be a young male but it's just as likely that it's an adult female.
From what I've seen, it's only the upper part of the eyes that are brownish on
a female and the abdomen pattern looks right for a female or a juvenile male.
Other than on tenerals, I've never seen a Dasher with completely brown eyes.

The attached photo is, I believe, a young male Blue Dasher. It has several
intermediate marks: The eyes are turning from brown to green, the thorax
pattern and coloring look more like an adult, but the abdomen patters is
that of a juvenile. I would appreciate any comments.
