I don't think it is Sympecma fusca, which is the only European genus to hibernate as adults as in subsequent years I have seen none others. They hide amongst dead leaves or dense shrubs but often take to the wing on sunny days, even in the middle of winter.

There are lots of Large red damselflies in my ponds, which this probably is as a rather early teneral.
