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.

Thank you so much, Eric, for your ID. My apologies for the mistake. I should have noticed the insect's siphons. :|
Best regards.
