It took me quite a lot of research on "the web", to find out the simple difference.
To distinguish the two snails apart, you just look at the colour of the band on the lip of their shells. Occasionally, you will get coloured lips that don't match the rest of the shell, so that specimen will be an undetermined species.
The colour (either white or brown/black), will tell you the species - hence the names.
But this one was a Dark-lipped Banded Snail (Cepaea Hortensis)
