No.
This is a nymph or adult female of the western wood cockroach, Parcoblatta americana. Nice shot.

Thanks
Yeah, when I was looking in your book they looked pretty similar but when I checked them on here they (brown-hooded 'roach) were more elongated than I thought. Thanks for the ID, I rarely see adult males for some reason but see a lot of adult females and nymphs.
