Spotting

Notes:

I found it on the banks of a river, walking on my arm. According to its basic appearance, I suppose it is a kind of mite. :)

Could well be Leptus. The Erythraeidae is closely related to the Trombiculidae ...

Try the genus Leptus. There are similar looking ones, but the patterns are not exact.
