It's a female Southern Hawker.
The last few segment of the abdomen have the blue spots fused - making a "tail-light".
A female because there is no long fused lower appendage showing. Short appendages (migrant Hawker has long appendages).
As Waxwing says the broad antehumeral stripes are a good feature for Southern Hawker.
