deutonymphal Uropodoidea
Great photo! They are uropodoids, and most likely Uropodidae, but there are some other families in this superfamily that also attach with an anal pedicel.

Moved
Moved from Uropodidae. I would hesitate to assume any specific mite family unless our mite experts suggest such. I only meant to illustrate that some mites are similar in appearance.
