Definately Ochlerotatus, but another "specimen in hand" one. Probably something close to Oc. excrucians.

not excrucians
excrucians has broad basal bands. this completely dark scaled baby is probably Aedes cinereus. i checked my specimens i have collected from the side after i keyed this mosquito. i was stuck between ae. cinerus and oc. intrudens. but the side looks more like ae. cinereus

Aedes cinereus
I'll go with your judgement, and move it to the species page. Thanks Omar.

Ochlerotatus
Thanks Sean, I'll start looking for different looking mosquitoes that are easier to ID:-)
