Marshall's new book (1) picture matches up, and the text says; it's a distinctive barklouse that seems to mimic a small beetle. Look for them on foliage where they graze pollen and other material off leaf surfaces.

Bug eyes,
but what about the wings? And I can't see the antennae very clearly, but they look like they are more segmented than in most bugs. I'll be interested in seeing what someone else has to say about this one.

another guess
maybe Psocoptera? Their face has a rounded bulge like this one.

Barklouse.
I agree with Robin, this is a psocopteran, but a really odd one.

Not a true bug
I agree, it is not a true bug, it looks almost roach like but I cannot see enough detail or know enough about this to be sure.
