looks most like contaminata to me.
very common in Germany, maybe just as common in The UK.

I figured a marsh area from the photo. I always find them in marshy areas.
I like Ptychoptera. A very interesting group of insects. I have to laugh because they follow me from plant to plant as I photograph wildlife. Then when I turn to photograph them, they fly away. :)
