Somatochlora tenebrosa
Looks like Clamp-tpped Emerald unless the angle is fooling me.

Somatochlora tenebrosa

Somatochlora tenebrosa
Yes, the angle is not the best for identification. A side view so you could see the thorax markings more clearly and so that you could see the shape of the claspers from the side would be good. Unfortunately, insects don't always pose for us!
