It looks like a nymph of one of the Coreids. I can't find a good match for this one.

Leptoglossus sp.
This is definitely a species of Leptoglossus. Acanthocephala would have narrower flanges on the hind legs. This is probably a final instar, too, judging by the size of the wing pads. Nice shot.

Probably L. occidentalis
I see lots of the Western Conifer Seed Bug adults later in the season, and haven't found any other adult Leptoglossus sp. yet.
