Carpet for I/D (1 Viewer)

I caught this carpet last night but it's not a colour form I'm familiar with. I'm assuming that it's either a Common Marbled Carpet or a Dark Marbled Carpet and I would appreciate any input as to it's identity

A hugely variable species, some I get when in the UK are almost, completely black but the first thing I look for is the two, whitish marks, about half way up, either side of the body. It's not totally diagnostic but is obvious on 99% of the ones I catch.
