What led you to this species ID?
Several Uroleucon will colonize Helianthus spp., and U. helianthicola is described as reddish brown with black appendages, including siphunculi and cauda. This is a pretty bright red and the cauda doesn't look distinctly black on these specimens.

Please go ahead and correct any of my old aphid IDs; no reason to assume I knew what I was doing!
