is this Platystoma seminationis? It seems to have less white patterning than the photos I have found. Cambridge, England.

Edit: I can't get the photo to upload. It is here: https://www.flick...ed-public/

Yes it is.
There are only 2 species of Platystomatidae found in the UK and the other species (Rivellia syngenesiae) looks completely different.
