Darn, fooled again. It's this close up stuff. From a distance I recognize critters like this, but close up...
Tnaks Paul.

Yes, agree. This is an opilion. Without doubt. But I know much better about spiders, not opilions. I don?t like so much them. But wait I have a book that can give some hints about which opilion could be.
Take

ok. This belongs to the Phalangiidae family (due position of repugnatorial gland - it is located between dorsal and ventral shields; and form and position of eyes) . It is a Phalangium cf. opilio.
It is a very common opilion, indeed.
