I'd be hesitant to ascribe this female to umbrosa - the abdominal markings appear to be better defined than I would expect of umbrosa, and it is well out of its range (as far as I am aware, it is a species currently known from East Anglia only). If you can return to the site, you should be able to find some males, and confirm the ID one way or another.
