I'm working too much with these guys
This is a male. You know it's getting ridiculous when a passing glance can tell you easily.

That's my guess.
It's definitely Podisus. The black vertical line where the wing tips come together pretty much solidifies that. P. mac is probably the best option, but I don't know which other Podisus species are in Louisiana, so you might wait for a bit.
