I know it's been a while, but...
can you remember if there was anything visible on the top side of the leaf, or just below? Also, is the gall flat, hemispherical, or spherical? Hard to tell from the photo. A size estimate would be helpful too.

Sorry, I have very little mem
Sorry, I have very little memory. But I think it was spherical. And I will look for them again this year, paying more attention this time.

Nice image!
Might be a mite gall (no pun intended), but I don't know the galls from your area - moving to Galls for now...
