I can tell you that I'm pretty sure it's a Skimmer in the Genus: Libellula. The problem is it is a little far and the angle doesn't show the wings well (which may help a little). Without more detail is hard for me because there are a number of them in this group that look almost the same. For example:

to name a few.
