Probably Rhopalosiphum nymphaeae
This is an alatoid nymph, it will be a winged adult. Nymphs are tough to ID, the characters we look for in adult females aren't fully developed, but R. nymphaeae has slightly swollen siphunculi which I think are starting to develop here, and the species is often a little waxy.
