Tiny insect, I believe a dipteran, approximately 2 mm long including its wings. Photographed indoors on July 18, 2026, in Motril (Granada, Spain). Due to its apparent similarity in shape, though not size, to the pigeon parasite *Pseudolynchia canariensis*, although without any basis on my part, it occurs to me that it might be a tiny parasite of smaller birds... Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, due to the wing venation and the long siphons I think it's an Aphid.
Greetings, Eric |
