12mm 20.5.20 in a hedgerow, Wiltshire, UK. I think this is R. tringarius rather than the much more common R. scolopaceus as it lacks the dark wing stigma, but am not sure how to be sure it isn't the extremely rare R. annulatus the only UK confusion species s far as I know. I don't have a better angle on the wings to check the humerus colour.
