Hemipteran?

Hemipteran?
Beavercreek, Greene County, Ohio, USA
July 15, 2017
I am not at all sure what this small insect may be. Maybe a spittlebug nymph? It had the odd habit of swaying back and forth by straightening one foreleg while the other was bent, then straightening the other while bending the previously straight foreleg. Photographed on a flower of Hemerocalis sp - a Daylily cultivar.
