I might be a Needham's Skimmer
Or I might be a Golden-winged
But without a far more clear photo

Location: Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park

Sources: Judging by the first 2 pages on this web site, I am leaning towards Needham's Skimmer, but the photo needs to be a bit more clear to tell for sure:
