Both the hip flexors and abdominals are working here. You feel more hip flexors probably because you are lifting and compressing the legs more than pushing the hips out.

Very nice L sit lifts.  Can you do them with your palms flat on the floor?

I love the disinterested look on your face, like it's just a formality...
