I'd recommend this as a first step. Give them a call and see if they 
know/understand that the image was used without permission (they may 
have strange ideas about the ownership of images on the Internet or 
under Open licenses, be ready to explain gently :-) ).

IIRC a credit or apology in the next issue or payment at the going rate 
for a single image is the most you can expect, so it's probably not 
worth going to court over. If they're unresponsive you can always "name 
and shame" them.
