Hmmm....I have idea about their Asian presence of the ID mentioned in my comment... but you get idea which type it is.. just want to tell through my comment.
SandraH
Thanks Ashish. I checked the distribution and description for the species you mentioned - it's not them. Also, this one has black legs and some black on the head. According to a couple of sources it is a red-veined darter (Sympetrum fonscolombii ).

Or Rudy marsh Skimmer.

They are like Crimson Marsh Gliders.
