4-5-6 possible Lepthyphantes minutus maybe worth considering.

From what I can see on the photos, I'd say it's not L.minutus. (I can only see 1 spine on metatarsus I, though I can't say that for sure 100%)
Look especially at leg spines on Linyphiidae - they're a tricky bunch.

Not to mention 'tricobothria' , they can take some spotting with a microscope!

Pics showing a few spines etc. I thought the Spine of the Palpal patella was thicker than the leg spines. Highlighted by Collins 'Spiders of Britain and N. Europe' as Characteristic of L.minutus......... Any thoughts on slightly clearer pic of Spine etc.

Well, better photos for a start

I can see 2 spines on metatarsus I (second pic, possibly 3 it's hard to tell)
As for the patella spine, its hard to say (they can be thick and also not quite so thick, in comparison to spines)

In all probability - its L.minutus - but I'd need to see it under a microscope.
