I'm fairly sure this is a Broad-bodied Chaser, possible an immature male? I'd be grateful if someone could confirm that (or otherwise!).

It was at Minsmere, Suffolk, yesterday, next to a path along the edge of the reed bed.

I saw 3 males today that had their blue pruinescence. Always good to see these irascible flying machines.
