I took this photo at Skala in kefalonia september this year and realised it was a little different . Someone has suggested it could be a Globe skimmer ( wandering glider ) but i have no experience of these . Can anyone confirm id of this Dragonfly as it does not seem to be marked as well as globe skimmers I've looked at on the net.

Isn't it a Violet Dropwing?

Having looked up female violet dropwing , it looks closer than Globe Skimmer , as well as more likely in that area. Any other opinions ?
