Thanks Jason and Tim
If this is a Boyeria, it has to be vinosa, since grafiana's distribution in Massachusetts is restricted to the western end of the state.

Aeshnidae
I'm vouching Boyeria as well...

Boyeria?
If I'm remembering right, the yellow spot should mean Boyeria, but I'll double check when I get home and have references in front of me.
