This is not a very good picture. Someone suggested Netwing Beetle, but I think the eyes look more like some kind of Fly.
Any ideas?

Albeit a beetle; Phausis sp., most likely P. rhombica based on locality and shape of pronotum. I have a single pictured specimen collected not too far east of you. :)

P. rhombica
I've never seen one before or after I took this picture.
Had a look at your submisions and found a moth that I hadn't been able to get ID'ed before (Apamea sordens) Thanks.
