Leptoglossus phyllopus
Found these bugs all over my tomato plants, on the actual tomatoes. They moved quickly and can fly. I thought they might be assassin bugs but never seen them with a horizontal stripe on their back as the ones in the picture have. And I was under the impression assassin bugs were flightless. Any suggestions?

This is a member of the Coreidae which does resemble some Reduviidae.
Reduviidae can fly as well:
