Way cool ...
This is Valenzuela indicator, male. The female lacks the dark compound eyes and dark mark on the vertex.

 
I appreciate the help!
Thank you for identifying this specimen! What are some key features to focus on when photographing them?

 
For Psocoptera ...
it helps to have a nice "side" view showing the wing venation. I do almost all of my photography in my "studio" so I can make them drunk with ethyl acetate which slows them down. I keep my aspirator handy in case of escapes. For me, it is difficult to photograph such small critters out in a natural environment.
