Check out Sympetrum semicinctum
It is similar to a few of the Sympetrum semicinctum found on bugguide.net. I'm not sure though.

Band-winged Meadowhawk (Sympetrum semicinctum)
This is our only Meadowhawk with those brown bands on the first section of the wings. Most of the other Meadowhawks all hard to tell apart.
