Miridae - Mimoceps insignis - female

Miridae - Mimoceps insignis - Female
Yuba Gap, Placer County, California, USA
June 21, 2016
Size: 3.9 mm
Exit 161 on I-80 "Yuba Gap", GPS= 39.3232, -120.6011.

I suspect this is a Miridae, but searching through 3 tribes with similar look I don't see any like this.

Thanks
I finally posted it to iNaturalist, but didn't get any id there. So, I'm glad you helped me out. Also a first for CA in BG and a lot different than the one posted for WI.

Moved from ID Request.

I don't know what else it could be--but I'm not seeing anything like it in the Guide, either.

Let me know if there any characters you want to see. Without any keys, I don't know what is important for this group.

We'll need to wait for an expert.
Did you post this on iNat by any chance?

I did not post to iNaturalist
I did not post to iNaturalist. Actually I don't post any there, but my son just published a big paper in Science in which he mined iNaturalist for data ("Fewer butterflies seen by community scientists across the warming and drying landscapes of the American West", M. L. Forister), so I'm not against it, I just started with BG & stayed here.

No problem.
It's just that wongun, who used to ID many of our mirids, now spends most of his time on iNat.
