Dragonlet posing for me. Ready to eat the small black bug hiding in the flower.
It is a female erythrodiplax umbrata.
Also referred as Band-winged dragonlet.

I don''t think this is a female Erythrodiplax umbrata. The pterostigmata of Erythrodiplax umbrata are yellowish, not grey and it has brown patches at the tip of the wings, which are missing here. Most of all, it is again an American species, which is not found in India. Do you have a side view of this dragonfly?
