Kirby's or Rock Dropwing.
Here it is surprisingly well camouflaged on a rock.
Only the male is red, and has the amber wing patches.
W&MT remark that it is a "wide" and that it is characteristically settles on rock, or the side of a farm drinking troughs. This one was found in Bisley N.R., not far from a stable's drinking trough.
The amber wing panels set it apart from other similar coloured dragonflies.
