21.5.20 c 20mm Found sunning on heather on sandy coastal heathland, Dorset, UK

I think this is Nephrotoma submaculosa based on thoracic and abdominal markings, and the habitat is correct and the species has been recoded form this location several times before, but would appreciate confirmation, or correction if necessary as I have only encountered a few members of this genus before and am not a specialist.
