So really quick job on the phone, but I’ve marked some of the ‘painted’ markings on your ray (another name for SE is painted ray) and contrasted with one I caught last autumn.
Aside from matching pretty well, you can see the body shape is similar too.

They do take on colour from their surrounding, as do most fish, so probably why yours is so dark.
