One of the Lycid mimics. It may be a Pseudolycus species (Oedemeridae) but I'm not sure.

I agree that this looks like a Pseudolycus sp. Harvey. I added that taxon to the database intending to call it that. However the image of Palaestra foveicollis on p.185 of Hangay and Zborowski’s guide book looks very like your photo as well. Perhaps not surprising - these are both mimics of Porrostoma rhipidium! I don’t feel qualified enough to call this one.
