Looks like a Predator B. Note the Y tail.

Good call. The link you provided also has photos of the airstrip (from a distance) as well as a lot of the ground control aperatus cleary visible in BEV shots:

Yup, those pics were almost certainly taken at El Mirage or Gray Butte.

Interesting that all the other Predators around the site are the original Predator-MQ/MQ1s. However, the images of this and the Predators taxiing are all Reapers.
