It's a close relative of the Assassin bug, I think (Heteroptera, family reduviidae). They are insect hunters and usually very good at exterminating house pests, such as bed bugs, for instance...
The photo has a bit too much contrast, and it's a pity you cropped the antenna at the top of the inage.

Hi Alyssa,

This bug looks like a red weevil. A crisp clear shot you achieved here.
