Dr. Mockford weighs in...
" I think this must be Metylophorus barretti (Banks). There is a lot of variation in wing markings of that species. I know the markings of this one look rather different from the one I illustrated in the book, but I think they are close enough. M. barretti is a fairly common species in upland forests there in southern Arizona. Apparently, Mike collected the specimen, so maybe you could get him to give you an estimate of its size. As you know, Metylophorus are big psocids, and this one should have a body length of some 4mm."

Resembles Ptycta polluta..
but is out of the recorded range and the coloration looks different. I'll pass this one along to Dr. Mockford.
