I knew it was an assassin bug that had newly molted. But the angle did not show the wheel. The red color is because it has freshly molted and not fully developed its grey color yet - freshly molted grey and black bugs are often pinkish or red.
Thanks for the great lesson on molting to share with everyone!
Here are a few an images of a wheel bug molting where the pinkish/red color is so contrasting to the old skin.
