Capaea nemoralis, or something similar. Famous for having many,
substrate-related, colour morphs.


My guess would be cepaea hortentis. Very common in my garden. Most
folks only see those big brown/green ones.


As far as I undestand it, the difference between nemoralis and hortentis is
the colour of the lip. (brown or white) Too dark for me to go look now.
