The glumes don’t appear to have bristles along the keel (could be a factor of image quality) so wouldn’t that make this E. ovatus?

True I didn't think of that, I guess it could be a particuarly large E.ovatus, but 8cm long & 2.5-3cm wide felt very large (measurements are from my phone as it was raining at the time).
