I'm assuming it's a nymph?

what about..
A Derbidae? -Apache degeerii?? The head looks similar, but nymphs are difficult to id.

Derbid nymphs
Yes, probably Otiocerus (or Apache) degeeri, judging by the color and head shape. Derbid nymphs are supposed to feed on fungi under bark, so it is rare to find them just wandering around like this; but I suppose they have to, before they can molt and become adults.

Great shot of a rare beast!

Maybe
Fulgorid Planthopper - Scolops something?

Not Scolops
Although the head is elongate, the legs are nowhere near long enough to be a Scolops; the thorax behind the eye doesn't have paired longitudinal ridges; and the abdominal segments aren't chevron-shaped.
