Hello,
This looks much like Mycophaga testacea but not quite, it has no brown tip to the scutellum which has two long crossing bristles.
24th October on my wall, near Lincoln UK. It was quite big, I think ~8mm.

Still it has all the characteristics for M. testacea, so maybe just a darker one...(autum species sometimes can be darker)
