Click beetle would be my guess.

I'll have to see if any more show up. The thorax and head didn't have much of a delineation between them like I see other click beetle pics. It was pretty smooth.

Fair. If you can get a clearer pic it will be easier to identify.

iPhone image lookup says it’s a type of cockroach. Do you have other pictures of it?iphone result

Look how smooth the head/body are and the lack of visible wings. Not likely a cockroach. More likely a beetle.

That's the only one I have. Caught it this morning at the kitchen table. It is definitely not a roach. It's very small, maybe 3mm long and 1mm wide.

I used to live in terrible apartments years ago that had a never ending roach infestation, I know what roaches look like.
