Unknown 'Bug' 6022 - Sinea
Grindstone Dam Outflow, Ruidoso, Lincoln County, New Mexico, USA

Difficult to get a decent pic as it was always on the move and was a bit on the small size. Only one I noticed among a large population of Harlequin Bugs (Murgantia histrionica).

Would appreciate an ID.

Thanks for the lead. Looks like a Spined Assassin Bug - Sinea diadema
