The other day I was taking in the trash cans and found this guy on the ground. I knew it was a male, and was wondering what species it could be. I thought it looked a lot like L. humile. A few hours later, I caught several more of the same drones.

 

Any ideas on what species it is? I know drones are notoriously difficult to identify, but any help would be appreciated.  

 

Here are the pics:
