Hi Ron, this is a species of family Miridae.

Please do not expect anyone to further identify this one - small monochromous Mirids exist a lot - the taxonomically most difficult bunch within true bugs!

cheers, Boris

 
Thanks so much, Boris
Particularly useful is your comment about the small, monochrome guys. And to think, I recently posted a bunch.
