Rustic or Uncertain or Rustic or Uncertain or Rustic or etc etc etc...? (1 Viewer)

Cheers Andy. For sending in records I will be putting them down as Uncertain / Rustic, but for the purposes of my hobby I would be happy counting either species on the garden list if I could get one that looked close enough. I think it will be a case of building up a bit more experience, getting a load more photos, and not worrying about them too much right now.
 
I’ve had a couple through over the last few days and have treated them as Uncertain, primarily because of the dark joining bar to the “lower” kidneys, also the lack of deeper/darker tone above and abutting the “wavy” line with the dark darts beneath the kidney shapes that appears on Rustic?

Hope that makes sense,

Cheers
 
I would say that these are tricky! The first pic I identified as Uncertain and the second pic as Rustic.

All the best

Pau
