tick larva - too small for me to know which species - female

tick larva - too small for me to know which species - Female
Baiting Hollow, Suffolk County, New York, USA
July 20, 2008
Size: Body only-less than 1 mm
Taken just after biting me.
Is it possible to ID this further?
I tried to get the little suction cup like structures at the ends if the legs
but you can only see a suggestion of one on the left front - just too small.

Bottom view?
Some of the features used to ID ticks, or adult ticks, are on the belly.
