Male
I should have added a caveat to mt Assignment:Mosquito thread, namely that I will not be able to ID males.
I will say that this is likely an Ochlerotatus, and it is very freshly emerged. You can tell because the hairs on the antennae are not yet erect.

I only saw 1 female
fleetingly, so next time I'll try to get her picture. Thanks Sean.
