Found this morning. Seems to be Sargus - about 10mm, longish abdomen, eyes not obviously hairy. Presumably Sargus iridatus on size and date? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

mixed woodland, grass clearing. Devon, England.

thanks

Tim

Yes, Sargus iridatus is where I place it; as for size and date, they are spot on.
