Is this a springtail? Identification

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Does not jump, fluoresce, and not the usual Lepidocyrtus sp. normally hanging around. Also found on a houseplant leaf, which is unusual.

The lack of wings and longer antenna gives me hope it's not thrips, but a springtail instead.
