Royal Tigertail

In my opinion this is indeed a Royal Tigertail (Parasynthemis regina). Being a female might make it a little confusing and harder to ID - also the angle doesn't help. Females of this species in particular haven't been photographed very often. Compare with my photo: http://photos.rnr.id.au/2005/12/29/dragonfly_Parasynthemis_regina_Langwarrin051229-8350.jpg PS. Thanks Jellis for bringing this to my attention, always glad to help if I can.

I doubt it is a Royal Tigertail. Yours the abdomen is too short the bars on the thorax are too wide and the eyes are smaller. Do you have any other angles?
