Besides being a 'Leaf-footed Bug' Reduviidae type, any further ID available for this specimen?

Leptoglossus occidentalis, I believe -
it seems to be very common and increasing its range, especially in the northern states. Guide page here.

Reduviidae?
Not that I can help much with the ID (Leptoglossus, maybe?), but Reduviidae are the assassin bugs and Coreidae are the leaf-footed bugs.
