Can you work on the originals to improve the brightness and give an indication of body and leg length, particularly the second leg?
The legs seem a bit long for Paroligolophus agrestris and the body doesn't quite fit for Leiobunum male; so I would consider Opilio parietinus or canestrinii as possible alternatives, but I just can't see enough detail.
Even then, this may be one for Gordon's extra experience. |

Opilio canestrinii female looks good to me.

O. parietinus and canestrinii are quite a bit larger than the 'average' harvestman with females reaching a body size of nearly 10 mm and legs which can be 50 mm or longer.
So you should be aware that you are seeing something which is a bit 'above average'. | | |
