Am I right in thinking this is Helina impuncta ? If anyone can help me confirm ID I will iRecord. Found in South Cumbria, 13/10/2022.
Update 22/10/2022; Thanks to Eric I am now satisfied this is Helina depuncta and not impuncta and have iRecored it as such. Thanks again for your help Eric.

Hi Duncan, Helina is correct - but we cannot see enough to say whether it's impuncta or another species. Do you have a dorsal view, too?

Thanks Duncan, these images help:
I'm quite sure it's a female
Helina depuncta (among other characters there are no elongated presutural acr bristles while impuncta has 1 to 3 pairs).
