ID
This is Aradus kormilevi, described by Heiss (1980), and formerly called Aradus cinnamomeus, described by Panzer (1806) but A. cinnamomeus is now considered to be restricted to Europe, with the North American forms being either what you photographed (A. kormilevi) or Aradus antennalis, described by Parshley (1921). The latter species is found in western North America, A. kormilevi in eastern North America, extending from Canada to as far south as Louisiana.
This specimen is a brachypterous adult female. You probably have some conifers in the area where it was found...

Nice to get an easy one now and then!! :-)

brachypterous female...
Never thought of that. I'll have to be more observant next time.

Looks like a Flat Bug (Aradidae) nymph
In the Guide here

Perhaps someone else will be able to give you a genus.
