Harold,
I don't know what it is, but here are some thoughts: I agree with David its
not Ashy or Lancet.
It looks a bit like female Dragonhunter, the tip of abdomen is turned down
as is characteristic of them, and the yellow markings down the abdomen are
close to being correct for female Dragonhunter. It seems like its a large
dragon from the photo, but the head seems too large and/or thorax seems too
small for Dragonhunter.
Its one of those other clubtails... I can't get any closer to an id
without seeing the side of the thorax better.

I would be interested to hear any comments that you receive on the ID of
this. I am not sure as to what species it is, but I know it is neither Ashy
nor Lancet. I have been having trouble IDing the female clubtails I have
been seeing lately so that's why I am interested to hear what the "experts"
have to say about this one.
Thanks,
David

Ladies and Gentlemen,
In the ongoing saga or trying to separate Ashy and Lancet Clubtails, I
would
appreciate your comments on these photos. I believe that they are Ashy
Clubtails. Their only variation from my guides is that the lance shaped
marks on the abdomen do not get smaller as they go toward the end of the
abdomen, However, there is no dorsal mark on S9 or S10, which should exist
on a Lancet.
