Hi, yesterday we were at the Phillies game and on our way back to the car queens were flying and landing all over the parking lot. I managed to catch one- but her gaster was significantly smaller than some others so I’m wondering if it’s a male. She’s brown, with stripes on her gaster. More of a red tinge than a yellow tinge. I’ve had her in the dark since I got her, I don’t want to stress her out too much by trying to measure her, my guess is between 10-15mm. When I caught her she had wings, you can see in the picture she has torn them off. Any help with ID? Thank you

I know the picture is a little dark, if you would like a picture from a specific angle let me know.
