Hi RodDeb - in some respects this does look like a Black-faced Percher, due to the amount of black markings on the abdomen, but for two reasons I have ID'ed this as a Wandering Percher. Firstly, there is a clear dark spot above the metastigma on the thorax in two of the side-on images. This would rule out Black-faced Percher. Secondly, the black markings on the lower lateral part of the abdomen is continuous, whereas there should be obvious breaks in a Black-faced, producing particularly distinctive 'shapes' to the segmental markings.
