Can someone assist, please?

I think this is Acletoxenus formosus, and would be grateful for confirmation.

There were two individuals around our garden ivy (Leicestershire, UK) in late October. About 3mm long. I've had A. formosus confirmed previously and these individuals seem to be identical. Thanks.
