More images = better!
Aphids are very difficult to ID from images so the more angles and images you can get the better. Unfortunately I still don't think these can be IDed past family, there are a few genera that are similar and feed on corn. I'm leaning towards Aphis but the characters needed to IDing apterous individuals are very very small. If you ever photograph aphids again try to get winged adults in there. They aren't always present, but if they are they are the easiest stage to ID.
