Common Darter?

[Deano]

Can anyone confirm for me please that this is a Common Darter? It looks less reddy in colour than most I've seen recently, so I wondered if it could be another species, or just a faded individual perhaps?
Regards
Deano.

Hi - It is a Common Darter - colours vary widely on these as they get older.

Thanks Dave - that would explain a lot of my recent sightings then.
