My idea is either a mite or a small harvestman.

Look at the legs closely, they have white spikes.

The dorsal prosomal region (where the eyes would be ) has accidentally been crushed with a needle while collecting this specimen.

I can see some segmented dorsal plates on the top posteriorly

**P S. IT IS NOT A TICK, stop saying that to me.** I know how to ID a tick and this is not a tick. The mouthparts are small, chelicerae althouth tiny are visible. The mouth is covered with a small hood (which is something I've seen in Trogulidae harvestmen and others, but I don't know if it's present in mites)
