Clusiodes albimanus group?
UK, upland on Malvern Hills, 18.09.21

Distribution and gallery images seem to fit C.albimanus on the whole, but images in gallery show dark front femora unlike this one and more like C.caledonicus. It also conforms to description of the group as having 3 dorsocentrals and white front tarsi :

Got a broad range of angles and bristle detail on this - is it possible to take to species from photos and if so what's needed?

Through the viewfinder at the time, it seemed to have darkened wings at the tips as well as cross-vein in centre of wing....the flash appeared to bleach this aspect though, so less visible in image than in reality.
