Possibly H. euxanthus, but the face marks look very pale - could be just the light.

Thanks Peter, I agree it could be the light on the face: there are certainly a lot of H. euxanthus around, but all with very yellow legs.

Thanks Michael, I wondered whether it could be a female H. chromaticus but was unsure whether I could see the metallic blue tinge
