I'd say B anglicus or B hortulanus, but I'm not sure which... |

The B. hortulanus female has conspicuous fair hair on lower side of head and lateral thorax (see http://www.fugleo...;ID=127316), whereas the B. anglicus female seems to be much less hairy (see http://www.fredmi...pic/762107). So your animal resembles the latter, as far as I can judge from the photo. Regards, Sundew |

Those are really useful photos Sundew. Thanks, and of course I agree with your conclusion that this looks like B anglicus. |
