Re: Rove Beetle ID please

Yes definately one of the Staphylinus sp two closely related species are Staphylinus caesareus which is quite common, i also think this is it looking at the elytra, thorax and head hairs, and another similar species Staphylinus erythropterus which has a slightly different hair structure, and is assosiated with more heathland.
