For reference, the yellow spot on the 'knee' of the dragonfly indicated that it was A. parvistigma.

Any chance you have a photo of the side on view of the thorax of the dragonfly? i.e. in these photos, right side of the dragonfly? I can see some hints of the yellow markings there, but can't see them all and they may be helpful to identify.
