Hello Lorin,

my opinion doesn't change with the latest photo but it is a better photo, so i can see what has happened: you didn't fully extend the ovipositor. Some of the tergites are still available. Use fine forceps to hold the cerci then use fine forceps to grab the end near the lateral sace. Carefully extend the ovipositor that remaining tergites/sternites are visible. Perhaps we can see enough to come to a final conclusion.

Best wishes,
John
