Rick,
To me, it looks most like Splendid Clubtail (Gomphus lineatifrons). The
yellow marks on the club are right; the anterior line on the side of the
thorax looks thin but complete, which according to the literature it can be,
but is usually interrupted. Piedmont Clubtail is similar, and has been seen
in Hawkins Co., it is smaller than Splendid. Can't judge size from the photo,
but most likely Splendid Clubtail ... splendid!
Look that one up and see if you agree.

Hello,
I took this dragonfly photo at Phipps Bend in Hawkins County, Tennessee in
June, 2009. The habitat was on a dirt road running alongside a large pond
in bottomland habitat. I was wondering if anyone could assist with
identification? Thanks.
