Hi Ignacio, it belongs to the tribe Resthenini, subfamily Mirinae - still working on it...

I am not absolutely sure. I am not en expert on these insects by any means. I was looking at the body shape and coloration and comparing it to ones here in the USA. It is entirely possible that it is of a different family. I hope you are able to identify this bug.

ForestDragon, it definitely is an heteroptera but i can't find a similar one in miridae family... Are you sure this one belongs to this family?

Thanks tmvdh

This looks like something from the True Bug Suborder (Heteroptera), possibly from Family Miridae, Plant Bugs. I don't know the species from your area and have been unable to find a match so far online. I hope this helps.
