Looks like possible heat stress?? The last time I had broad mites the leaves got skinny but the new growth was more twisty than what I'm observing in these, anybody have any suggestions? Hoping to rule out my creeping mite fear lol, let me know what you think. Thanks in advance

This is at 60x magnification. I can see it with the naked eye. I can't make out the legs or anything but I can see it sitting there.
It's sitting on the top of a leaf at mid level, exposed to light. Not moving either.
It looks like a russet mite to me but I'm a noob, what do you guys think?

The first picture is the mite in question that I found on my plant. The second is a googled image of russet mites.
look up spidermitesarego.club they have piks of spider mites
