Not an ID
I'm not that good with these, but have a look at Syritta pipiens and see what you think.

looks pretty good
For being "not that good", it looks pretty darned good for a match. :) I just wish I'd had a couple more shots to go off of. This was one of those one shot only bugs. :(

Thanks for the hand, John.
