The image is pretty small but it could be B. reticulatus:
- head longish
- head & mesonotum black
- legs red - tibiae & tarsi I dark
- abdomen ventrally yellowish
(the wings look quite dark, but that may depend on the angle)
based on the Verbeke key, 1971

Thanks! I've managed to retain it, so I'll run it through a key!
