Coreid nymph - Leptoglossus

Coreid nymph - Leptoglossus
The Woodlands, Montgomery County, Texas, USA
October 29, 2006
I first assumed this was an assasin nymph, but then I saw the discussion here, where a similar bug was a coreid nymph. I don't see the leaf-foot developing on the back legs in our image, so I'm looking for some input. Thanks for any help-

Coreidae.
It take coreid nymphs a fair amount of time to develop the flanges on the legs. Here, in this image, the exceptionally long beak is the big clue. Assassin bugs have beaks less than a third of this length.
