Jean,

Look at a Black-shouldered Spinyleg. It is large, whereas a Cherokee
Clubtail is not. Other markings appear to also separate it from a
Dragonhunter.

Is this a Cherokee Clubtail?  Upper abdomen was gray, not black.  This was a
large dragon.

I have more pix.  After catching an insect from the grass beside the road,
it perched about eight feet up in a tree to eat it.

Alongside the Nolichucky River.
