fullofjoy on "Bed Bug Id HELP NYC (crawled out of my mustache!)"

I need help identifying a possible bed bug. Please note I have no past history of bed bugs. All this info may not be necessary but I`d like to be thorough:

I live in NYC and was riding the subway home when I noticed a small bug on my shoulder. I picked it off and threw it on the ground not wanting to kill it. Then I realized that was dumb because I had some groceries and my tote bag on the floor. I am over paranoid about beg bugs so when I got home I inspected all my clothes with no signs, took everything out of my tote bag and washed it in hot water and then jumped in the shower. Worried that this bug on the train was not just something that happened to be there, but perhaps one I have been carrying around inside my shirt all day I inspected my mattress, bed frame and blankets / pillows for signs finding no evidence. About an hour later I went to brush my hair in the mirror and noticed a small bug (similar to the one on the train from what I can remember) crawling out of my mustache! I grabbed the little guy and put him in a jar and froze him.

This may be my attempt in denial to convince you this is not a bed bug, but here`s some more info on what else it could be:

I spend a lot of time outdoors and go the the beach often. I was at the beach two days ago with the same tote bag. Often little bugs will come home with me from the beach, but this is just something I chalk up to having a cool beach bum lifestyle but for some reason this bug scares me.

I have attached quite a few photos for different reasons. The shape of the body is best seen in the first photos on a tablecloth. In following photos taken on a wood surface, it appears this bug may have some sort of wings. I understand that bed bugs do not have wings, however this guy is quite small so perhaps it can be molt? It is worth noting it never appeared as if the bug attempted to fly.

If you have made it all the way to the end of my life story / bug rant and can take a look at these photos to provide some input it would be great appreciated.
