This is a very distinctive species with black metallic legs and a bright red/pink body. Unfortunately I don't have any suitable books or web links for harvestman ID, any suggestions on these would be helpful too.
The specimen was at a sandpit near oxford, uk august 2005.

Leiobunum - quite probably - L. nigripes? - no such sp. in Europe - I'd suggest L. rotundum (http://www.bioima...P60897.php).
