[Adastra] Tick ID request

[Robin Pepper]

Looks like the Castor-bean Tick Ixodes ricinus to me.  Common on sheep
and most domestic animals.  Usually attaches itself to the ears, eyelids
and other parts of the head.

A friend brought me the tick photographed here today:

It was between the ears of one of her horses kept in a field here in
Sedlescombe.
 
 
 
Does anyone know what species it might be?
