Based on the thoracic markings, and the distribution of wiretails, it can't really be anything else.

Insufficient clarity or detail to be sure. Possibly too big in comparison to the spider (Austracantha minax) to be I. aurora? Don't know, sizes can be deceptive and it may be a small spider.

Coenagrionidae (family)

@HarveyPerkins I really dislike trying to ID flatwings. Ha! Thank you for assessing all of these.

Thoracic markings are all wrong for Griseargiolestes eboracus. I'd count that as three cells between the discoidal cell and subnodus. I'm thinking Common Flatwing.
