This is Kleidocerys resedae (Lygaeidae), living on birchs. During the cold season often found at houses etc.
Best regards,
Jürgen

In the UK there are also Kleidocerys ericae which is very similar ...

K. ericae is almost totally restricted to heather. So, although the size straddles both possibilities, I'd go for K. resedae given that this is on trees.
