Hi Pam, I saw your query in my related spotting. I think this one is also a Neurothemis fulvia. Pls check the images here, which were taken from Cambodia - http://www.asia-dragonfly.net/globalResults.php?Species=105&offset=10. Here is IUCN's distribution info - http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/167275/0.
