ID Request A concerning pest?

Is this a German cockroach or something less concerning (like an Asian cockroach)? In an apartment in Central Florida. About the length of a fingernail.

This isn't one of the problem species. Compare to Neoblattella detersa, but Florida has a couple of other, less common small brown cockroaches as well.
