Plant Bug - Miridae? - Phytocoris nigricollis

Plant Bug - Miridae? - Phytocoris nigricollis
Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee, USA
October 23, 2009
Size: 5-7 mm
A tiny bug attracted to lights. I'm thinking, maybe a candidate for the Phytocoris Eastern Group II? A beautiful little buggy.

Thanks, WonGun
I wasn't sure just what was needed for the ID. I included the cropped image, showing the antennae because of a comment on another image, but couldn't get any better photos of the insect.
