Default Hit and Run... is this a Lexus ES or an Accord

My kids car got sideswiped a few days ago, knocking off the side view mirror . I have cameras on my house, but the recent weather and their age has taking a huge hit on their quality, thus I can not make out the make of the car. I think it's a Lexus ES or Avalon, my brother thinks its an Accord

Pics attached.. let me know your thoughts/opinions.

2013-2015 Honda Accord sedan in Modern Steel Metallic. The front grille, side profile, and taillights are a 100% match.

I blew the Pic up and thought the same possibly, that it could be a Altima too. Same reason, the wrap on the Taillights. But I am not sure at all. I am pretty sure its Not a Avalon. But it very well could be the Accord. I live in a 10th floor Condo, and look down at cars in the Parking lots sometimes. Funny how close they all look alike in the last few years. LOL!

I also maybe wrong, but I don't think that reassessed Front grill matched up with the Accord here. Seems the Accords interior Horizontal Thick Chrome strip lines would match up better it if was the Accord Front pictured here Like I said I could very wrong and it could be the Accord.

Ya... I knew it was Japanese and was hoping it wasn't a darn Accord, as they're like 1 in 5 cars on the road these days, and that's the most common color I think for an Accord.

I'll go look at my neighborhood again around dinner time... problem is, half park their cars in the garage , while the other half in driveways/street... smfh.

The video shows, unfortunately the pictures do not, a larger white block of something hanging on or near the rearview mirror... likely an EasyPass, or somekind of tag .. so I'll need to look for that while I'm making the hunt.

I'll add the Altima to the mix (as a just in case) , though I think the grill on the pic resembles more of the Accord... but at least I have some leads

Obvious the cops won't do anything unless the person that was falling him/her took down their information, but I'm assuming not, otherwise they would have likely presented it to me.

That is absolutely 100% the Accord shown in fb182's post. Take the guesswork out because they've shown you the exact car.

I'm going to have to agree with the accord assessment above.
