Beautiful red dragonfly lives by the ponds

Are there still people on earth who are so aesthetically attracted to dragonflies like me. I love these beauties. Airy, light, graceful. I see and my heart skips a beat. I follow my gaze until it flies out of sight. I bend down to every blade of grass that. But it’s not for nothing that they were called “jumpers,” they do not stay long in one place. Jump-hop from one stalk to another.

For some reason, I had not seen such dragonflies with red belly before. I searched on the Internet, found a similarity with Belonoskaya reddish, but not entirely accurate. I saw this dragonfly by the river. Snow White is noted as living near water bodies. The upper part is similar, but the abdomen has a difference. "My" dragonfly with a uniform color, an Internet photo - a red abdomen with black spots. There is very little information about red dragonflies like this.

Just at the white foot, they note a characteristic sign of males - two large white spots on the head, it looks like spotlights. But there are no pronounced reddish spots on the tips of the wings. Oddly enough, in the internet there are a lot of photos of such dragonflies, but nowhere is there a name for them. Yes, and the white shanks live until the month of August, and now it's the end of September. So it’s not clear what kind of dragonfly it is.

It is a pity that I saw this beauty only in the fall, when the leaves faded and the photos turned out to be unattractive.
