This is my first really red dragon fly. Does anyone have a proper name for it?

Thanks! I think it is a Sympetrum rubicundulum, a ruby meadowhawk. Can anyone confirm?

Yep! I got the male part right off. Oh so slowly I'm beginning to get to notice the different ID parts of insects. Thanks for your input.
