Oedothorax retusus
This was in a pitfall trap in a grassy area beside a wet woodland. The head profile got me to retusus and the pedipalp confirmed it.

This was also in a pitfall trap but in a dryer environment, in the middle of an ex-arable field that's starting to be restored to heathland. It was caught together with two Oedothorax apicatus.
