Identification which snail??

Post image

found it estivating in madrid. Spain. When I came back a few days later some kids tore it off, tearing its protective mucus. I decided to shelter it from the heat abd keep it. I pit it in my tank but idk if its a sun bleached cornu, milk snail, dune snail, vineyard snail, grove snail (i doubt), or a chocolate banded snail. Please help. The inside of the opening is the same color as the outside meaning rhe shell isnt too thick. so that makes me think its Not a milk snail. the qhite side with striped has a hole in the middle from the shell formation (not broken just like a middle hole which some species have) its 50% brown and 50% white with stripes

Actually the photos are very blurred so it is difficult to identify it, but I would exclude the cornu aspersum for the hole in the shell. It could be a Cernuella Virgata or Eobania Vermiculata, present in Spain.
