Cantharis nigra=fulvicollis

or C. paludosa

Cantharidae

Cantharis

I found this in a grassy place and it's about 6 mm long so a dark form of C. nigra is the more likely, although the legs are darker than mentioned in Joy.

This picture is of Cantharis nigra captured in the Sheffield area of South Yorkshire UK

The hind tarsus.
