You're very welcome, Asergio. I spent some time looking at tiny Baridine weevils last night, so yours immediately looked familiar!

It's too hard to see if there are scales on the legs of your weevil, but the shape and curve of the snout, legs and body are very similar to the picture of Geraeus picumnus. I'd be confident with Geraeus sp.
