Dragonfly ID
Thanks Bob. Every image I had seen for the Mottled Darner was blue or green. On checking again here on BugGuide, I found one with the same coloration but have yet to find it elsewhere. Thanks again.

Harlequin Darner
I think this is a Harlequin Darner. The colors and patterns seem right for the species.
