Calopteryx splendens
To be honest I confuse this demoiselle with the Calopteryx virgo since both are in my area but I think this one is splendens because the wing is not all uniform blue but has a darker spot.

Thanks! here we have so many damselflies in the rivers and ponds nearby :-)
Beautiful little jewel.
I've got a soft spot for the broad-winged damselflies. Nice shot!
