Doug,
The two I was looking at were Splendid and Midland clubtails. More field
marks for Banner fit: especially the "two complete lateral thorax stripes,
with area between darkened" looks good. But the proportions don't look right
for Banner,judging by photos. In the photos it looks "normal" size, not
short and stocky as for Banner (not that I have seen this one). Splendid is a
big-ish clubtail and would impress as such. Look at Midland (in Dunkle
etc., it's not in Beaton). I have yet to find one but they are supposed to
occur. Handsome clubtail is common in Bedford County, but it usually has more
yellow on top of S8 & 9....

All,
The photo gallery linked below contains nine shots of a dragonfly I
photographed in Bedford Co., TN last weekend:

All of the photos are of the same individual. Some of the photos are
quite large, so you can zoom in for much more detail; this requires another
click on the image after the initial click to display it isolated on its own
page.
I think it resembles a Cherokee Clubtail, but it's pretty far west. All
opinions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
