User's notes
Apologies for these less-than-ideal photos. I suspect this may be the female of the species at sighting 4670126, or it may be an entirely different dragonfly. This one has a dull red-orange coloured abdomen, and the head and thorax are a similar bronze-brown to that of sighting 4670126. It looks like there could be a pale yellow dorsal band on the thorax, but I can’t be sure that it is not the light playing on the metallic sheen of the bronze-brown.
