Had fun with this beautiful specimen
Yes, it is Blaste subquieta based on "Head marked with large dark brown spot postero-mesad to each compound eye, another mark on postclypeus before ocellar field, and distal end of hypandrium with slendar median prong and short broad lateral processes" (1). Can I keep it??

I would appreciate capture site data. Thanks

 
Anything I send you is yours to keep
I don't collect for myself and you are the only person that requests Psocids. I captured it here in my yard with a sweep net. I believe I was sweeping a mixture of grasses, weeds and saplings at the edge of a woods. Google maps puts my property here at 40.59505,-79.95483.

Thanks for the ID!

Did you save the specimen?
Looks like Blaste, perhaps subquieta. I'd love to have a closer look.

 
You're in luck
I do still have it and will send it to you. I assumed it was Blaste subquieta based on the resemblance to this this one-
