Russet-tipped Clubtail?
After checking with a field guide and some Bug Guide images, the closest I come is a female Russet-tipped Clubtail. Hopefully someone with Midwestern Clubtail experience will see this and comment. Definitely a clubtail as the eyes are separated atop the head.

Clubtail
I believe that it is a member of the clubtail family. Clubtails and snaketails have seperated eyes that are more similar to damselfly then to other dragonfly. I am just not sure which type that it is.

Looks like a cross between a damselfly and a dragonfly.
