Philopteridae sp.
I've come to Bird Louse (family: Philopteridae). Can we identify it further?

most likely you'll need to make a cleared slide mount
for microscopic examination under high magnification. Most tiny things like mites, scales and thrips need to be prepared in this manner. Pretty much impossible to ID based upon a blurry photo, since the tiny hairs, pores and spines need to be seen clearly. There are hundreds or even thousands of things it could be confused with.

I cropped your image
Most viewers can't click on your image to see the full-sized image. Only editors and a few other have that ability. Cropping the image (filling the frame with the bug) help others see it better allowing a greater chance of getting an identification.

I have no idea what this is but I surely hope someone can tell us.
