The species is very variable in the characters you mention. It's distinguished from the other three British species of the genus by the lack of red on the thorax and the extensive whitish markings on the head and thorax. It never has white at the base of the hind tibia or metatarsus.

It would be worth joining the British Ichneumonoidea Facebook group if you are interested in identifying Ichneumonids.
