Nice shot.
I believe it's one of the Platycryptus genus.

Yeah, I'm kinda into bugs (if didn't pick that up from my screen name).
and you're right about their shyness. This species isn't the most comfortable when being observed. They prefer to stay hidden.
I have a real soft spot for the jumpers & I recognized that Tan Jumper right off the bat. I find them around here a lot. I've got shots of a very pretty adult female, [link] [link]
LOL! but I'm still trying to find a really photogenic male
Even got a few shots of a baby [link]

Do you have more of a straight on shot - like that second link I sent?
There's a little too much tinted light coming in from above & behind in this shot to see if the male's signature orange band is present bellow it's eyes.
Cockroaches don't have the nicest of behaviours for co-habitation with humans, but they're better than some others that would really like to move in with us... the fleas, lice, bedbugs & their bigger cousins with the kiss of death, the Triatominas (to name just a few).

You can see in this [link] the female has just one big bright white band bellow the eyes.
These aren't mine, but they good shots to show the male's extra color band [link] [link]
