Could this be Crocothemis servilia, Ruddy marsh skimmer, or Crocothemis erythraea?

thanks for that Agnes. Unfortunately I am not much good as a researcher!
Pam, here are the distribution range of the two spp:
http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/59859... - Crocothemis erythraea (this one includes Himalayan range);
http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/16360... - Crocothemis servilia.
Looking for an ID for this dragonfly. Anyone know what it is?
