This one fooled me
I didn't recognize it as the common Lygus lineolaris. It's color is faded, and I didn't see the sharp drop off at the clear part of the wing. Thanks for the ID.

I also thought so at first time.
But, I recognized later that the submedian stripes on the head was those of the tarnished plant bug...
