Is this a southern hawker?

http://www.stewart.hinsley.me.uk/Ima...ta/Odonata.php

A dragonfly which settled for a while on my neighbour's Chamaecyparis.
The photograph isn't ideal (the lighting was too harsh), but it should
be could enough for identification - I make it Southern Hawker, Aeshna
cyanea, from the British Dragonfly Society web site, but that assumes I
picked the right family to begin with.

Can a kind soul confirm or correct the identification. TIA.
