Sminthurinus
It could be quadrimaculatus (but then the rare form with just 2 white spots). Did the specimen has any white spots laterally on its abdomen?

I don't think it had any spots.
However it was incredibly small and I could't tell any details with the naked eye; even with the camera it was hard. If it helps these are the most common globular springtails in my area. Thanks for the numerous IDs, Frans!
