Hi, I am not an expert, but I am almost sure it is Reduviidae (an assassin bug).

I think Nabiidae too. If I remember correctly, the easiest way to see the difference between Nabiidae and Reduviidae is that the rostrum (proboscis) is more curved in Nabiidae; which seems to be the case for your specimen.
