I goofed, it's Rhyzobius lophanthae
Not a hard mistake to make, with its dark color and hairiness, but no Scymnus is metallic. The shape of the pronotum and the hairless eyes are also visible here, though not as sharply as your other R. lophanthae photos. You've got quite a population of the little guys!

Scymnus, not sure which
I did get Robert Gordon's monograph on Tribe Scymnini for my birthday, so I may at least get it down to a few possible species! (Can almost never visually ID Scymnus species without dissection but it may be narrowed down a little...)
