And another from the same area, the species are unknown to me, so it would be great to hear if anyone has any ideas.

It's fairly close to our Blue Tailed damselfly.

The resting wing position you have is more normal for dragons, but the eyes are damsel's?

There are damselflies called the 'spread winged damselflies' that rest with their wings partly open like that.
