I've been thinking about it, and I am almost certain it is a Norfolk Hawker
Jacob Gorneau
That is what I was leaning towards as well. They are all British species, though.

Jgorneau, thank you so much - I think maybe norfolk hawker based upon location?
Jacob Gorneau
I think I have narrowed it down to 3 species. I am leaning towards the Norfolk Hawker, though.
