Dragonflies and DamselfliesDragonfly or Damselfly

I photographed this specimen on my deck railing today. He was very large, probably 4″, and has a very interesting black and white geometric pattern. Can you identify? Thanks.

Hi Joe,
Dragonfly identifications can be very challenging for us, but we quickly identified your Gray Petaltail, Tachopteryx thoreyi, on BugGuide which has this comment: “Rather elusive, but can be easy to find in the proper habitat. Often perches on odonate watchers.“
