Thanks for identifying which proposes. Smile
With your guidance I edit the title, hoping that some other specialist also wants to give us their opinion.

Kind regards

Don't think this is Cuneopalpus cyanops. That species doesn't have wing markings. In this specimen you can see wing markings. Furthermore I think the areola postica is missing (although I can't see the wing venation very clearly). I expect this to be a species of the genus Ectopsocus.
