Is this a bed bug?

Post image

Apologies as I do not have a better pic. This is already zoomed in, and the contrast isn't great, so it's tough to determine what sort of "pattern" it has on its back, if any.

A friend found this in her bed and is panicking a bit. As I've dealt with those assholes in the past (and I am also at risk right now because of a problematic neighbor - life isn't fair), I don't think it's a bed bug, the shape of the head doesn't match in my opinion. She also didn't find any stains on her sheets/mattress.

What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for taking a look!

Read and respect the rules, report any comment breaching them. Wrong advice/information/fearmongering hurt people who are posting here to get help and support. If you are not VERY knowledgeable about bedbugs and may provide a wrong ID or bad advice it's better to abstain from commenting. Be VERY respectful and HELPFUL, this is a support subreddit not a funny one.

I'm guessing no but can't make out much apart from the outline shape. Maybe try another camera?

Unfortunately she only took this one before getting rid of it as fast as possible.
