Coranus subapterus, Heeswijk-Dinther, Netherlands
This is not the most useful photo for identification, so the species is tentative, but likely. The Netherlands has only 7 known assassin bug species, seen here:

Given body build, the only serious candidates are Coranus subapterus and Coranus woodroffei. The typical reference image of either species looks somewhat different (more neutral tones), yet I did find this:

Possibly it's a young adult, not yet in its final color.
