A real long shot - dahlia at end of last week's GW

This is a terrible screenshot. There was a plant right at the end of GW on Friday (min 58) which I think is a very dark red, large single dahlia. Any ideas?

    It looks rather like chocolate cosmos (Cosmos atrosanguineus) to me. Could easily be wrong though, as far as I can see we didn't get a close-up view of it.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    I concur with @punkdoc.
    The dark foliage and new buds are visible behind the flowers

    I thought it looked larger and darker than either, but is it hard to see. Thanks

    There are quite a few it could be, but I think Bishop of Auckland is the most likely one , if l had to put money on it.
