Moved from Plant Bugs.

Maybe one of the
Miridae (Plant Bugs), but I'm not sure.

Thanks, John.
Your id seems to fit. I've added a couple of close-up views of the wings and head.

Maybe
either Lygocoris or Lygus but even these may both be incorrect. Maybe someone else will comment.

Or . . .
I was thinking along the lines of Stenotus binotatus. The dark markings are similar although feinter in my specimen. Maybe it's freshly molted.

I agree with you!
Black patterns of Stenotus binotatus can be significantly varied, and sometimes there is no black pattern on the wings.

Maybe
but it is probably best to move the images to the Miridae section and wait for an expert to comment (it may be a long while).

I think Lygus, too
Relatively slender body and ivory marking on back point to that.

Not Lygus.
I think Stenotus is much more likely. This specimen is not robust enough to be a Lygus, for one thing. Moving to family for time being.
