I think this dragonfly belongs to the Coenagrionidae family. Any idea about the genera?

Hi Louis! Thank you for your rapid answer. I have an image from another dragonfly belonging to the same family. Could it be a Coenagrion puella?

Hello eguzki
Yes male Coenagrion sp. but he doesn't seen very good the dorsal shape on the second abdominal segment ??
Perheaps C. puella

I agree with lweit on both accounts.
The first one is a female Ischnura elegans of form infuscans (females of this species occur in five color forms).
The second is indeed a male Coenagrion, but lweit is right that you should examine the ventral view of the second abdominal segment more closely to determine the exact species.
