About 12 mm across the base which came to light in Inner London.
Sorry about the quality but it was a bit skittish and I didn't have time to chill it properly.

Must be a Hook Tip of some sort... Maybe a Beautiful Hook-tip - Laspeyria flexula? Quite a dark specimen.

Thanks for that. Good record I think as the
NBN map doesn't show any other records inside the London ring road.
