Definitely not a smoky brown (the abdomen is Blaberid) looks a bit like a Surinam, of course more info. would be helpful to be sure. If you foud it in a houseplant it's certainly a Surinam.

It does look like a Surinam to me. Here's a link with some roach pix of
different species....

This is Pycnoscelus femapterus, does anyone know how to properly care them?

P.femapterus females have no wings and your female clearly has wings.

You have Pycnoscelus surinamensis
They're really easy to care for and eat any foods like dog food, fruits and much much more. I got rid of mine years ago but can't seem to eradicate them from my other invert cultures.
