Thanks, Richard,
I see that the spines are by far too short for a spinyleg, plus I learned
how similar the Splendid is to it-one I've not seen yet.

Jean, Tom,
This looks like Splendid Clubtail (Gomphus lineatifrons), it's pretty big
and markings are right. And its a river species. No spines on the hind legs
eliminate spinyleg, and its not marked right for Dragonhunter. Another nice
bug you've found.

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.
