A friend of mine found this bug in his driveway in North Carolina and wanted to know what it was. I can't ID it and was hoping someone here would know what this is.

[EDIT: He told me it was the size of a palmetto bug. That would be too big for a chinch bug. Any other suggestions?]

Body reminds me of an assassin bug. I searched based on that and found it was Microtomus luctuosus.
