tentative ID
I suspect this is Leptoypha costata Parshley, based on the shape of the antennae and hemelytra. It is likely a tenneral individual.

Plants in the local area
What was the vitis growing on? Are there ash trees nearby or maybe willows?

Not Tingis
The genus Tingis doesn't occur in North America. On the other hand, I can't identify the specimen. The detail is too small and important features are obscured by the position of the insect. For now I can only agree with the family Tingidae. Any more photographs?
