That's called a pixie. Probably downtime pixie, in this case. Pixie is mostly used as a set (uptime)

yeah that's pixie as a set. pixie ducking, in that case. A ducking pixie would be duck then dex, but it wouldn't be called a pixie then it would be a mirage.

For me it's sounds like a Same Side Mirage without planting. You can do them back to back.

Well, yeah, a same side mirage is a downtime pixie.

Sameside mirage = pixie.
But I believe it was called pixie first...why the different names? I mean, I think 'sameside mirage' is a bit more self-explanatory.

Why different names? Because footbag is complex, there's multiple correct ways to name a lot of footbag tricks.
Pixie is easier for most, but you will get both
