Pedilus sp.
Looks like a female Pedilus terminalis (Say) or female Pedilus impressus (Say). Best we are able to do.

Possible to reliably tell the two apart?
or are the females mostly indistinguishable?

Pedilus sp., female
ID confirmed from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks John.

Females are difficult to place. :/
