French Damselfly for ID

Anyone know the identity of this white coloured Damselfly? photographed in Tarn et Garonne France last May
Thanks

Hi Black
I'm no expert (as you probably know ) but I've just had a look through several sites and wonder if it could be a female White-legged Damselfly as this looks very similar to yours.

British Dragonfly Society - White-legged Damselfly

Hope this helps.....a bit.

Thats great thanks Suzanne, your ID certainly seems to fit the photo. Had a quick google around and a few references mention that the common "European" name "Blue Featherleg" is being suggested to replace the traditional English name "White-legged Damselfly" I'll put both in the keywords when editing

Excellent.
I never know whether to post or not when I'm not sure, but this one definately seemed to fit the bill.

It's getting a bit confusing when they have two names for the same thing , when I was looking for the latin name for a Blue tit I put in the gallery it had an old latin name which is widely used and now a new one as well .
