I guess there may not be enough detail to enable an ID but here is hoping...  |

Impossible to give a definite answer here. Assuming that the image was taken in normal bluebell time I would be willing to risk a 50p bet (but no more) on it being a male Meta mengei.
Once again, this is just based on probabilities not facts. |

Lack of ventral hairs on metatarsus I and II would make this M.segmentata, especially if it's the same spider in the other post you made.

M. segmentata gets my vote on this one - the ventral hairs on tarsus and metatarsus I would be distinguishable in this photo had they been there.

I was thinking that bluebell time is very early for a mature M. segmenta, or have I got the plant wrong? |

It's usually 'm' before 's' but not always.
