Male Slaty Skimmer? - Libellula incesta - Male
Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, USA
August 2, 2016
Found at White Rock lake, Sunset Bay, mid morning. It has a snack, looks like a katydid head, or grasshopper head.

Moved from Skimmers.

probably Libellula incesta
This definitely a male Libellula, but it's hard to tell without another photo whether it's L. incesta.

 
Only one
Unfortunately it did not like having its meal disturbed and left so I only got the one photo. Mostly I was going by the fact that in the past I have photographed confirmed slaty skimmers in the same location.
