Could anyone help me out with a dragonfly identification. Sorry for not having detail of various part of its anatomy. Does the hairy thorax indicate anything of what species this might be? This was sighted just north of Vancouver a few days ago. Thanks for any help!

My only guesses from looking at pictures online are saffron-winged Meadowhawk (Sympetrum costiferum), ruby meadowhawk (Sympetrum rubicundulum, or Cherry-faced Meadowhawk (Sympetrum internum)
I lean towards it being a saffron-winged meadowhawk, but am by no means absolutely certain; distinguishing red-bodied meadowhawks in the field can be a daunting task...
