Thanks guys, I'll change title to see if that draws some further opinions.

Changed thread title again in hope of some more replies; Peribaea seems to be a bit of rarity in Britain so would be nice to get this confirmed.

My guess would just be Actia sp. ... possibly crassicornis or pilipennis but I'd need a specimen to be sure - or at least a good lateral shot Smile

Thanks Chris (I'll edit thread title to reflect the uncertainty). Unfortunately this was the only shot I got, I couldn't get close and there was no chance of a lower angle. It was at a spot I visit regularly so there's a good chance it'll present itself again.
