If you send it over I can give you a name for it - the RES pimpline key is pretty easy to use Smile

LOL, the key to British Pimplinae is very good - I have used it many times here and Mark Shaw has recently released updates to it... so I have reasonable confidence for UK material Wink

That's a nice ID - can you bring it to the workshop anyway Chris? I'd like to run it through the British key and just make sure I get it out to that species - I don't think I have seen P.rufipes yet Smile

I'd like to run it through the British key

In the British key, you'll find it under Pimpla hypochondriaca (now synonym of rufipes)

I don't think I have seen P.rufipes yet

You should it is one of the most common...

good night

Ahh, P.hypochondriaca sounds much more familiar Smile I probably just need to apply Marsh Shaw's updates to my copy and add-in some margin notes Smile Thanks for the clarification.
