I was able to find one image that included its abdomen, and yes, it's the same species. Thanks again!

Thanks, ChunXingWong! I gave you credit in the notes for IDing it. I will look for file containing the other sighting and see if I can positively ID it as the same species. I don't recall the abdomen having the same markings, but my memory isn't perfect. =}

Looks like the same species as this spotting too http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/388846017
