Tempted to say it's a Tau Emerald, but with the odd positioning of the body, I really can't say.

Very unusual angle as it is banking sharply and we're seeing it mainly from underneath. But the inverted T on the face (diagnostic), the colour of the eyes and the colour of the pterostigmata all indicate Tau Emerald.
