This things wedding tackle seems to be a better match for Neria ciberia comparing it with the one in the Gallery to my own image of C.petronella which has two small hooks in its undercarriage.

Thanks Roger, I think you are right with N. cibaria (excuse the pedantry), and come to think of it that's what I found in the same place last year.
