Unknown Dragonfly - Libellula luctuosa

Unknown Dragonfly - Libellula luctuosa
Dick Young Forest Preserve, Kane County, Illinois, USA
September 4, 2017
Size: Wing span about 3 inches
Found in the west section of Dick Young forest preserve flying low around prairie path perching frequently on low plant stems. I have not been able to find a good match in any of my reference materials. The dark band on the hind wings and shape of the abdomen don't correspond with any illustration I have.
