Cimicoidea Anthocoridae (Minute Pirate Bugs) Nymph
San Jose, Santa Clara County, California, USA

Sorry, this is the only specimen and it is in poor condition. I've taken close-ups of the various body parts. It's head resembles the pirate bug. Any help is appreciated.

Bed bug
It's a bed bug.

What am I missing?
I've identified a lot of bed bugs and none has this head shape, long body, or the wing like protrusions. What am I missing? It's clearly bed bugish, but looks more like a minute pilot bug to me.
