Roughly measuring wing span against the width of the taxiway on Google Earth I end up with a wing span of around 13m and a length of approx.15m.
That would fall in line with somewhat compact regular Fighter size. More F-35ish than F-22ish. But very reasonable for a Fighter Aircraft. As it appears no real vertical tails (just 'winglets'), thus a design with seemingly high focus on Stealth. Consequently, I would not completely rule out that we are seeing something related to NGAD. However, strange that they would be moving it in an area of high interest (and thus surely excellent coverage from space) during daylight times.
