Millipede Type Insect - Help ID

This is one of the smallest insects that I have attempted to photograph thus far. It's about the size of Roosevelt's ear on a dime. I found it in the woods tightly curled up under a frozen rotting log the other day.
Identifying this critter would be highly appreciated.

Would need a whole view to be sure. But baby isopod or 'pill millipede' (which is actually a millipede that looks like an isopod)?

Agree with Mark, need more to be sure.
I would go with a first instar millipede. Isopods have well developed eyes. The antenna fit millipedes, and first instar has only three pair of legs,adding them at subsequent sheds.
The usual caveat, been wrong before.
Does beat feeder crickets as subject, tho. Bide a wee, spring is coming(slowly).

Newtoyou is on the right track. Forgot about the juvenile millipede thing!
