Variegated Meadowhawk (Sympetrum corruptum)
Photographed
4 individuals seen. Two photographed, so those are the only two that could be definitively identified. I think they are Autumn Meadowhawks based on brown legs and lack of black markings on abdomen. Sorry for the poor photos, I only had my iPhone. ID Updated DEJackson
