This damselfly kindly landed on my knee at the Cangreja waterfall in the Rincón de la Vieja National Park, Costa Rica. Help with ID appreciated!

Indeed! Looks like male Hetaerina occisa could be a match:

Yes..I also find small red tip on end of wing...missing on Indian.
Thanks for researching this Ashish. But I think the description for Disparoneura quadrimaculata doesn't match the spotting. Also, I see that Disparoneura quadrimaculata is endemic to India and this spotting took place in Costa Rica.

Thank you Satyen and LauraMaria!
Ooh, I hope someone can ID it :) It's very pretty! Kind of looks like it has the colours of the rainbow on it
Wow! your full collection is very pretty, very colourfull.
