Ectopsocus? - Ectopsocus californicus

Ectopsocus? - Ectopsocus californicus
North Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA
March 30, 2016
Size: ~2mm not including wings
I think this one is in the genus Ectopsocus but not sure which species it is. BugGuide has no Maryland records for this genus but does have records for the following from neighboring states: E. californicus, E. meridionalis, E. briggsi, and ”Virginia Ectopsocus sp. 1”. FWIW, the darkness of the head markings make me suspect it’s E. californicus.

I’d appreciate some help with this one. Thanks in advance
