Found this one while trawling through old files...it was photographed at night under orange security lights on April 12th at Scatsta Airport.
Don't know the size :|.
Sorry for dud pics...blue background/lighting messed up exposure etc...again.

Thanks Andrzej for this and the other 3 ID's.
I think this might be
H.modesta going by the Gallery pics, and the fact it is on my checklist ;). In the process of going through all my pics from summer and binning stuff that is Antho's etc. If I come on a lateral of one that looks like this one, I'll post it on here.
Binned 13.5GB @ 9-10MB a pic so far...:|
Regards Roger...Binman.

Hmm, I'm not sure ...
It could be
H. borealis :D. This species wasn't recognize earlier (before 1962) as a separate species !
I'm rather sure ...

Hi Roger ! Very impressive deduction :D
there is an "original sin" when the specimen wasn't collected :|
At the moment we can only assume that the specimen could be really identified to the species level :|
