Swept from grass, edge of pine forest. Size 6.5 mm. It looks familiar, but I'm not sure...

I'm going to take a guess at a female
Blondelia nigripes ... I can see those ventral tergite combs and it doesn't have hairy eyes, so it can't be
Compsilura :)

Blondelia nigripes is fairly uncommon here in the UK but it was one of the commonest species from my trip to Russia in August/September. :)
