Guessing Gnathacmaeops pratensis
I'm guessing because I found photographic and range similarities, but did not find enough ID text to confirm.

I agree
I checked out the other pictures and I would agree. Will wait and see if anyone comments. Thanks

Very close
I checked that pick out and it is in an area about 15 miles from where I caught these guys. Interestingly, the person who took the picture is the sister in law of a good friend of mine.
