Could it be that I can see some greenish colors of the posterior body??
Metacanthus sp.??

In the meanwhile I am pretty confidentbwith Berytidae. Antenna shape, proportions, segments, colors, the joints of the legs (thickening, location of the thickening) look like being a nice match.
Definitely something for BugEric! You may ask him, he will know it for sure, at least the genus.
Berytidae, Metacanthinae, I would say, without being so sure...

bayucca, photo 3 is the best I can do...
Looks like being a Stilt Bug, Berytidae?

Alternative but being a little bit sceptic about the antennae segments and the design of the legs would be Alydidae. I would tend to Berytidae. Do you have other pictures, where we could see the shape of the antennae tips a little bit better??

Interesting insect. At the beginning I thought it was a Crane fly, but now I think is actually an Hemipteran
