Around 4 mm., probably Miridae Lygus rugulipennis (Oliver Katenhusen - BiodiversidadVirtual.org).

January 3, 2012 - Gójar - Granada - S Spain

Lygus is an extremely difficult genus, and to try a species ID a much higher magnification of pronotum and corium details would be needed...
However, as to body shape and reddish/dark tip of the cuneus apex I would take Pinalitus cervinus into consideration (compare http://www.britis...vinus.html).
