Dragonfly (possible eastern pondhawk)

Anyone want to confirm or dispute this ID? Landed on me at about 1am while I was outside looking at some moths. I handled it for a bit and snapped this photograph. It is lucky that I have been trained to be so silent as to be nearly invisible, else upon a breath it would have fled.

As always, that is an incredible pic. I'm not sure on the ID though sorry.
