Small bug, Berkshire (1 Viewer)

I found this one a few days ago, on nettle. About 4mm long. Note that the scutellum was black (even though it looks a bit green in the 2nd picture).

I assume it's a groundbug (Lygaeinae), but I've not been able to find anything quite like it - any ideas?

I'm glad I asked, I'd completely overlooked Anthocoridae. It looks like I won't be able to identify this one for sure from the photos I have, I'll leave it as Anthocoris sp.

Thanks very much!

Paul
