Pachydiplax longipennis
These two would chase each other for a while then land on the exact same spot multiple times. Do i have two different spottings here?

i welcome any leads :)
i thought it was amusing how they were hanging out together
I am no expert by any means, just found it while looking through a site for dragonflies of the Rio Grande Valley, and looked like it matched more so than others. But I know very little about dragonflies. It is very pretty, whatever it is!
red-tailed pennant didn't even cross my mind. i was considering mexican scarlet tail, arch tipped glider, vermilion saddlebags, or claret pond hawk. Thanks. I'll definitely need to make a new spotting for it.
Maybe red-tailed pennant, http://www.odonatacentral.org/index.php/...
Update: i just identified one as a Blue Dasher. can someone help me with the one in the back?
Ok. I'm a bit confused about these two. They would chase each other for a while then land on the exact same spot multiple times. Do i have two different spottings here?
