[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Not sure about ID but could be a female scarlet percher (Diplacodes haematodes)

This female dragonfly look nothing like the male (which is red all over). It is pale yellow in colour with black patterns on abdomen. This is a good example of the sexual dimorphism among dragonflies.

Hi Luis!
Lovely shot with your focusing point just right! Can't help you on the ID but it looks like she is in the libellula family
