Sadly this is as close as I could get, as I only had my panasonic with me-I was out with the kids. |

I'm inclined to think this is a colour variety of the common Philaenus spumarius, but there is a closely related species, Neophilaenus lineatus which has a similar appearance. The species are distinguished by the shape of the forewing, but I can't see that clearly from your photo.
