I find it very difficult to identify the mosaic darners. Can someone identify the species? Sorry, I have no side view. Thank you.

I can't tell from this angle. It is a female so I need a side shot (if it was a male this would be a good view of the tail appendages...) Totally random guess: Shadow Darners are the most common in my area (Cambridge) in late September.
