Help! Is this a nit (pic)

There has been a headlice outbreak in my daughters class before Easter…she didn’t catch them and I have been combing her hair through with a nitty gritty everyday throughout the holidays (nothing)…then, one day back to school and I combed out three of these…no lice, nothing else. I have even looked through with a magnifying glass she has a short bob and blonde hair so surely anything would show up? This was tiny, light brown and has been blown up using the magnifier app on my phone. I know it looks like an egg but it was flat, didn’t pop when pressed with my nail and didn’t feel gritty/sandy, just was totally flat. Any ideas. I have a serious phobia of headlice and luckily haven’t had to deal with them before. Daughters are 5 and 7 - I always wash their hair with the vosene shampoo and use the Hedrin protect spray religiously! Thank you.
