Is this one of the saddlebags dragonflys? - Tramea onusta - Male
Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, USA

It was found at the edge of the lake off the end of a pier at White Rock Lake. Mid morning, early September. Only got the one shot and not as clear as I'd like. I guess those are claspers.

Looks like Red Saddlebags to me.
Clear patch in middle of saddlebags near the body at the base of the hindwing and black at tip segments does not wrap around abdomen.
