Needham's Skimmer? - Libellula needhami - Male
James City County, Virginia, USA

I think this is Needham's Skimmer. Can someone confirm this?

We would also agree. Inner half of costa does look darker in the blowup of the image and we think we see the four cells mentioned in the link on the INFO page on the left hind wing.
