Coreid nymph
It is notoriously difficult to identify nymphs, so family is about as far as we can go here without expert help:-) This is indeed a leaf-footed bug in the family Coreidae. They feed on seeds, often seed pods of legumes, and at least one species on pine cones.

Looks like my mystery bug
- I haven't got a full ID yet but Bug Eric narrowed it down to a leaf-footed bug nymph
