Can anyone conform or correct my tentative ID of this small snail as Aeogopinella nitidula?

10.7.12 c7mm shell diameter, Wiltshire, UK.

I now think this is more likely to be the Strawberry snail Trochulus striolatus

Nope, yours is to flat comparing to google images. Anyway, next time catch it and do 3 view shoots, like on my images (seeing doors is crucial for id):

http://agrozoo.ne...35cf4f23a5

As you see both are 'flat' at top, but the doors are much different + width/height, ....

On your images the only thing one can see is flattnes of top.

and example of bad image for id, doh beautiful snail:http://agrozoo.ne...69a7588346
