I think it might be a Seaside Dragonlet - Erythrodiplax berenice It has the coloring, dark marking on end (segments 8-10), and red brown eyes. Here is a link to Duke University: http://www.duke.edu/~jspippen/dragonflies/seasidedragonlet.htm Here is another with their many looks and a range map: http://www.americaninsects.net/d/erythrodiplax-berenice.html

There you go I reposted the 2nd picture for you! I'm not sure of the size; I would say it's about an average size for most dragonflies. Hope that helps!

Can you get your second photo to post; also how large a dragonfly is this?
