Bedfordshire Yeomanry
As Alan says the un-voided legs. Whilst not an absolute rule they are nonetheless a very good indication in 95% of cases. There are exceptions both ways.
There are many indicators, the shape of the wings online, the fatter right wing edge, the angular tail end shape, the silly tiny coronet. On some, like yours, the voiding cuts off the lower beak.
There are of course many more differences but these are the ones which stand out quickest and easiest to my eye.
Add to all that your badge has modern footed loops.
Finally to my knowledge the Bedfordshire Yeomanry never wore an other ranks WM badge.
Similarly the other ranks BM badge is absolute fantasy, albeit there was a two-tone officers badge in SP and gilt.
