Unfortunately Blattodea is really a large group of cockroaches. Checking some I only know which candidates are ruled out. My closest guess would be Oxyhaloa deusta, Red-headed Cockroach. Do you remember a reddish head?? I cannot see it with this perspective from your slightly blurred picture. But I see some similar markings at the margins.

What do you think?
Hi bayucca I googled blattodea and as far as I can see that includes 4500 species? The closest common name I could get is the male oriental roach.
Looks like some kind of a Cockroach, probably Blattodea.
