Good afternoon,
Is it possible to know which Cantharis species this might be? Found in a Norfolk garden. 
Thank you!

Possibly C. nigricans (I'm hedging slightly because the photo's a bit dark for my level of ID ability)

Difficult to be sure, but why not Cantharis rustica ? M. |

I would say Cantharis rustica too. The redder colour, plus black on legs 1 & 2 along with the black mark on the pronotum.
