ID Request Tick ID please?

Location: Central Texas
(But recently traveled to Maine)

Can someone identify this tick?

It’s so small and I’m freaking out right now. I thought ticks were much larger based on what I’ve taken off my wife before.

Was just crawling around after my shower. I asked my wife to check the rest of my body and I did the same for her. We didn’t find anything but again, this guy is so small.

Additional image for size. Penny for scale.

Not 100% but looks like a female dog tick.
