If I could figure out what the above pictured dragonfly is (taken by me with a Canon EOS 7D EFS-24mm 2.8) it would be great. It’s been hanging around that dead branch in my backyard today (Southeast US). It’s rather tattered, so I’m thinking it must be near the end of it’s lifecycle. IRL it looks very much like the photos, Dark, brown, wings gossamer, sparkly, and that brown tipped edge is nearly gold. Head is dark too, and the browns on it are almost reddish, just such a dark dragonfly. Looks kinda like a gray petaltail, but I’m not comfortable saying it’s one at all.
