My best guess is a teneral Swamp Tigertail, but the shot from almost underneath, the mostly obscured eyes, and no coverage of the end of the abdomen, make it impossible to be more confident than that. I assume these are the only two photos you have? It looks like there may be some heavily vegetated swampy creek or dam edge habitat nearby, so it is a possibility.

Yes these are the only two photos I have. From memory it flew off before I had chance to take more shots.
