Hi John and Chris - although I can't get any idea of size, this looks much more like a female Common Bluetail to me, especially based on the size and colour of the post-ocular spots in the second image and the brownish tip to the otherwise blueish abdomen.

Many thanks for this Harvey.
Please see #4197917 which appears to be correct males + females;
#4198075 which needs to be changed from Aurora to Common
