A very special psocid!
I sure hope you have the specimen in alcohol!! I think it is in the genus Psyllipsocus. Could be an undescribed species. Nice find! Any chance you could collect one, if you haven't already?

Thanks Diane
The adults and nymphs (?) were locally common in this wall, adjacent to a bridge overlooking a stream. I don’t usually collect Psocodea just because I never know which ones are good to collect. I’ll make a note next time I’m in the area.

It would be fantastic ...
to have some specimens of this one! It may be the same species posted from the Houston,TX area found on a brick wall. Psocids dry out quickly, so if you find any, please preserve in alcohol as soon as you photograph them (if you do). Thanks.
