UK Shield Bug ID (1 Viewer)

[Eos9]

I believe the attached photo is a Shield Bug which I recently photographed in the Garden. However my ID guide on Insects doesn't cover Shield Bugs particularly well so I would appreciate the correct ID for this one.

Many Thanks

Technically not a shieldbug , but an allied group- the coreids. Often referred to as the Dock Bug, Coreus marginatus. Many (most general guides) just give the scientific name. Pretty common.
