Not really sure what kind of dragonfly this is; it has an orange coloring on its body and on its wing veins. It's eyes are a tuscan red, and it has dark brown spots on its wings. It appeared to be about 1 and a half to 2 inches long. Any help in identifying this spotting would be very much appreciated!!!
Painted Skimmer is my guess. The wing markings seem slightly different, but it may just be variation.
Halloween Pennant, Celithemis eponina, maybe? A young individual?
