My guess would be a Hedychrym gerstaeckeri male, but it looks unusually dark blue

Thank you, there were definitely 'normal' looking H. gerstaeckeri around, but this individual stood out because of the blue colour. It was not just light play, because there were other Chrysidids in that spot that were were green-red. This one was also a bit larger than the green-red ones.
