Looks like Trixa caerulescens (Tachinidae)

I think Chris meant to say Trixa conspersa, caerulescens has the wing unshaded and orange legs Steve |

Ahh, I thought it had orange legs in the photo ... a trick of the light ... I was obviously still thinking of that one you got in the New Forest Steve!
