Here's a pretty good site and descriptor.
And something for your Vet should this turn out to
be this mite.

If this mite Lived on humans we'd know alot more about it of course.
As I mentioned before- the ONLY thing that'll kill it is topical
ivermectin - and since they hatch so often (eggs laid under the skin of the 
mane) 
if there are birds constantly introducing the mite, then you'll have to treat 
this
every 7 days.
