Colorful True Bug - Raglius alboacuminatus

Colorful True Bug - Raglius alboacuminatus
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
May 6, 2007
Size: 7mm
Ok, so I'm flipping boards in the alley, and I come across Raglius and Rhyparochromus (neither would sit still long enough to get any photos), and I notice this little guy who looks like a cross between the two...A new species for Bugguide again, or what??? It was near English Holly, California Hazelnut (Corylus), grasses and Dandelions.

Moved tentatively; must be a wacky color variant
damn pretty, though.

Moved from Rhyparochromus.

colour variant?
This sure is not R.vulgaris, but might be R.alboacuminatus. The basally pale wing membrane is what disturbs me most.
