Eastern Amberwing

Perithemis tenera

Abbott's Plate61a is fairly close to this one. This is BugGuide's Eastern Amberwing.

This is a female Eastern Amberwing.

"This is a small species with a brown thorax ... Males have orange or amber wings that usually develop a brown spot above the triangles ... Both sexes have red pterostigmata. The abdomen is narrowed basally, but thick thereafter, and brown, with a row of dark chevrons dorsally."
