Many thanks Tukup, I really appreciate it. That looks very right to me, perfect fit - you should go ahead and make the suggestion. Once again, thanks.

Hi Zlatan. I've been trying to dig up the ID of this dragonfly. I came up with Diplacodes luminans. It is found in Zimbabwe. The colors appear a little more intense, but the markings on the tail and what I can see are the same. Just thought I'd see what you think, but not confident enough to make a formal ID suggestion. http://addo.adu.org.za/index.php?taxon_id=71800
