Photographed a couple of days ago, about 3 mm long. I have a private theory about the family, but I'm going to wait in silence your expert opinion before making a complete fool of myself

Hi.

Looks like a Chamaepsila (Psilidae), but I'm not 100% sure. Nice shadow!

Cheers,
Kahis

Thanks! Given it was so small, I'm quite pleased with how the picture came out

Must be Chamaepsila indeed, 100%
