Male. Thanks to @jimjohnson for your ID on this Emerald two days ago. Thanks to @rahopko for coming to confirm this and finding more including mating pairs. Thanks for Bill Prather for coming and netting the male in the first two photos and IDing more flying around. Bill told me that this is the first documented Plains Emerald in Colorado in over a hundred and twenty years. The third photo is of a mating pair
