6mm-, Clitheroe UK 15 July 2010. Looks like Pseudolyciella pallidiventris. I have the body; is there anything I can show to help determine the species? It's a girl.

Unfortunately no, since in the light of present taxonomical knowledge the former pallidiventris contains more than one species only determinable from the male genitals.
