How to reference the record id in an entity collection retrieved using FetchXML

$

I'm sure this is really simple but I'm not really a developer. I'm querying CRM using FetchXML and RetrieveMultiple. The querys runs against a custom entity and returns a total grouped by account (which is a lookup in the custom entity). The FetchXML looks like this:

            string fetchquery = @"<fetch distinct='false' mapping='logical' aggregate='true'><entity name='new_customentity'><attribute name='new_usercount' alias='UsercountSum' aggregate='Sum'/><attribute name='new_account' groupby='true' alias='Account'/></entity></fetch>";

I retrieve the results using:

        EntityCollection fetchquery_result = _service.RetrieveMultiple(new FetchExpression(fetchquery));

Now, I want to loop through the results and use the total user count for each account to update a field on the account. I can get at the user count using:

 foreach (var c in fetchquery_result.Entities)
            {
                int usercount = (int)((AliasedValue)c.Attributes["UsercountSum"]).Value;
}

But I can't work out how to reference the guid of the account record to use in an Update call. I've tried:

Guid thisaccountid = (Guid)((AliasedValue)c.Attributes["Account"]).Value;

but that returns an error, Specified cast is not valid. When casting from a number, the value must be a number less than infinity.

Any insight here would be highly appreciated.
