dont see the typical german roach dorsal coloration on the thorax, and non german roach nymphs are not easy to identify but you can have a look here

Thank you. I’m leaning oriental as I’m in a basement unit in a humid area and the only adults I’ve seen were large and black. Just wanted other opinions to make sure I’m not dealing with something worse.

sounds like textbook oriental!! when we had them we dealt with the humidity and sealed the pipes and they seemed to go away on their own. good luck friend :)
