Libellula saturata

Western Odonata
The info I got came from the Wester Ofonata group
Cool pic.
The dark patches look to me like shadows. Young male Flame Skimmers are just duller versions of the mature ones.
Someone told me this is a juvenile and will lose the dark patches on the abdomen as it ages.
