Looks a bit like A. displicata, although I'm not used to the green legs. Also, displicata is supposed to be rare in Britain.

Thanks Fritz.
Yes I thought that it resempled A. displicata and I have recently found A. displicata at this same location. However their colour and markings were quite different. See from earlier postings of mine:

Looks to be an immature specimen, one moult off maturity so probably not in full bloom yet and difficult to i.d. with any certainty.

It's small size seems to support your comment No.9. Thanks for your input.
