Hi All

I think this is a small ICHNEUMON type wasp. But with some really distiguishing characteristics!
1) Red front and mid legs
2) Thorax - predominantly black with some cream markings
3) Abdomen - Red and Black. Pale/Cream under the red part
4) Eyes - Black with cream surrounds
5) Antenae - Black and as long as the thorax and abdomen
6) Rear legs - Black, with some red, white socks
I have looked through everything I can lay my hands and eyes on and can't find it.
Could someone take a look and see if they can ID it please?

Thanks, Gareth
