Unidentified Roach from Ecuador

Can anyone help with the ID of this pretty roach from Ecuador's Tandayapa Valley? The date was 2 June 2008. Size not recorded, unfortunately.

Also, one thing I'm never sure of with these short-winged roaches, is whether this is an adult or an immature.

Thanks, & best wishes!

Looks like some sort of Blatellid.

I'd say Blattellid for sure, maybe subadult. Do you still have it or were you doing photograph-and-release?
