Moved from Dragonflies. After looking at it more and comparing to other images I'm pretty confident about the ID.

Blue corporal
You may be correct but I'm not an entomologist and don't see subtle differences between similar species so I don't think I should be the one to change the identification. Thanks for your suggestion!
