The tip of the antennas are very interesting. Maybe they can be a clue?

I wondered that too Sergio but I don't see a beak. I wish I had taken a few more shots!

Maybe it is an assassin bug. Some of them are very similar to stink bugs.

Thanks Yofran! It doesn't have the usual stink bug shape - do you know what species it is?

I've still not been able to find an ID for this guy. Closest I could find was a Damsel bug (Hoplistoscelis sp.) nymph but I'm really not sure. Any ideas anyone?
