Mallorca damselfly (1 Viewer)

Can anyone help with the ID of this damselfly please? The pic was taken at Ca'n Cuarassa in NE Mallorca on 4th June. The only nearby freshwater was two large, still, pools (no flowing water). Sadly, it's the only shot I have.

I reckon it's a coenagrion, the "problem" being that there are no recent coenagrion records that I can find in an extensive literature search.

Blue-tailed Damselfly, Ischnura elegans- note the bi-coloured pterostigma + lack of Coenagrion spur on the side of thorax.
