Dragonfly ID

Crocothemis erythraea, Scarlet Dragonfly is the nearest I can get. It seems to fit in every way, including distribution and habitat, except for the black on the tail and lack of red veins on the wing front. Sympetrum striolatum seems the next best bet, but lacks the orange on inner wings. Anyone guide me in the right direction?
