Is it possible to ID this dragonfly from this horrible photo? I just couldn't get any closer before it flew away.

Cypress?
This is an old male Cypress or Sandhill Clubtail. The terminal appendages are not quite in focus enough, but they look right for Cypress Clubtail to me. Either way, the image might be better frassed.
