Darter species

I have posted a photograph taken of a dark Darter species on iSpot for a few days but no comments or identifications have been made. I can't say I have any experience of Common Darter females, who I believe get darker colorations as they get older? My photo was taken in the churchyard at Church Norton, near Selsey (part of Pagham Harbour) and a coastal location. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

The easiest way to seperate Common and Ruddy Darter is by the legs, if it has all black legs then its Ruddy. If there is a yellow stripe on the leg then it'll be Common Darter.
