Could some one please identify this family of Mollusca

20180710_100013.jpg20180710_095952.jpg

 

These species were found in a freshwater stream in the UK. There are approximately 8mm in hight and ranging in colour from horn to dark brown. There is no Operculum present; however, these specimens were preserved (IMS) in the field so perhaps this may account for the missing Operculum.

 

I have a suspicion that they may be of the Hydrobiidae family, but perhaps I'm confusing with Lymnaeidae.

 

Any help with the ID would be of great help and very much appreciated.

 

Thanks everyone
