OK, many thanks. Yes, sorry, I meant to put C. pectinicornis not elegans as one of my options and have read since that D. bimaculata has 2 black spots on the wings (as its name suggests) so C. pectinicornis looks right unless anyone says not! Seems to considered widespread but scarce in the UK, associated with dead wood eg beech. We have a huge beech tree nearby...
