Sympetrum danae
Dark body, light wings except a spot on the upper end of the wing. Not sure there is enough to get an ID
They love to perch on branches when there is a breeze. They are born under water and come above water for the time we see them.

I went to see what it looked like. Those are certainly deserving of their name. I'm glad that you found a match.
Thanks to Nextogone for encouraging me to find the ID!
Still, it is a cool shot. ")
I feel that these are of the Family Libellulidae - Skimmers. With you as a witness to the colors, you may find yours here.
