Meadowhawk
The only two Sympetrum that look like this are the Striped and the Red-veined. Both occur in your area. Red-veined will have a reddish wash throughout the wings, Striped have only a small spot at the base of the wings. Would you have another shot that more clearly shows the wings?

This one is a female.

Striped?
I've added another angle. By your description I'm leaning Striped, which would make sense since I had a male nearby on the same day.
