The High Aldwin
Also, depending on the lair, don't forget dragons are great climbers! In a recent session our DM had the dragon climbing the walls of its cave, keeping out of the reach of melee characters (who had to resort to much weaker ranged attacks) and focus everything on spell casters, who it considered more of a threat.
Finally, if you say this is a party of 4 characters, only 7th level... well, they are dead. Even with powerful magical items, the dragon should--literally-toast them.
In the session I mention, we had 5 characters, 9-10th levels, and almost died facing an adult red dragon. And we had powerful items as well (not artifacts, of course, but still).
I agree with @Oofta that a young red dragon would be a better match for a party of 7th level characters unless the party (with those artifacts) is pretty OP.
