Hi Bayucca, thank you for your help (sorry to take so long to respond).
Important are the markings at the back and the colors of the legs, besides other criteria.
Curculionoidea, Attelabidae, Leaf Rolling Weevil or sometimes also called Giraffe Weevil. But I think this one is in tthe strict sense only correct one single species.
There are many several species around, I am not so familiar with these extremely variable and abundant beetle family.
Just some examples:
Paracycnotrachelus:
