Pic taken Stony Stratford, 7th April.
Help with identification appreciated.

Looks like a Tetragnatha species. T. extensa and T. montana are the most commonly found species with T. extensa varying greatly in colour and tending to be generally lighter than your specimen. T. montana is generally a darker species such as your specimen, though obviously this would be speculative!

I'd say T. extensa. Funny I was just reading about these today.

I love these guys!
Any chance of size, any water around?
Sadly you'll need the usual epigyne to ID.

Thanks for your help guys - I'll settle for Tetragnatha species .
Venger - I'm embarrased to say that I've not got a reliable size for this individual  . I've lost all notes associated with this particular session and only knew the location because I recognise the "where" from some of the before-and-after pics on the card.
