Libellulidae - rescued from water, please ID - Pantala hymenaea
New York, New York, USA
July 30, 2019
Size: about 8 cm wingspan
Saved from drownung at a fountain of Bronx Botanical Garden, NY
Some Tramea lacerata and Anax junius was flying over the same fountain/pond(artificial one with concrete walls and no vegetation).
I think that maybe it's a Celithemis sp but I'm very unsure. I can't find nothing similar. Notice the dark shade in anal angle of hind wings
