Great shot Cristian looks like a Common Whitetail (Plathemis lydia) that lives up your way.

That's what I thought at first, too, but the dark bands on its wings don't match the pattern of the Common Whitetail...
I still don't know what it is, but thanks for trying to help!

A male Widow Skimmer? I haven't seen them in my area, but I think I am just out of range. Drat.

Beautiful!
