Is it actually fetched by actual mobile browsers? Does it block loads, is
it in the background, or does it happen at time of bookmarking? Does it
happen once ever, or over and over again?

this download is not reported by either firefox or chrome dev tools due to

might have been overlooked in our site performance review.
Can we shrink it somehow? Or is there a reason to keep it as is?
I tried shrinking it with GIMP to 4bit - and got a 5x reduction. There are
some color changes, but I don't know much about images, so possibly some
pixel hunting by a designer is needed. Also, I tried 4bit+PNG option, which
might not be supported by every browser, especially some mobile ones, and
it got me an extra 569 bytes (21%)
Lastly, do we really need 3 different sizes - 16,32,64? Can we do 16 & 64?
