It looks like a Digger Wasp, very similar to Argyorytes mystaceus on David Element's site,

The yellow markings on mine differ slightly, could it be a male/female difference? I'm having trouble finding anything else like it.

The legs in the waist region, the hind legs, bend downwards before they go up.

This is the only pic I got as I was stood camera pointed almost as it landed, it didn't hang around for long.
