Hard to tell, since the insect hasn't reached adulthood stage. As a result, we won't know if it will grow wings, develop other body parts, etc. At first glance I thought it were an earwig, but earwings have their pincers at the end of their leathery body.

I can further my search if you tell me where you found the bug. Where are you located?

That's pretty accurate even though there are subtle difference, such as the legs. Good find!
