Crossocerus Sp?
I couldn't find any images that clearly showed the red spines on the rear legs.
But
Crossocerus capitosus ?
and
as it turned out the red spines are not indicative.
It's the swollen front basi tarsus, but that is only in the males.
In this case the photos were passed to Jeremy Early
and it became
Crossocerus annulipes
Otherwise it needs keying.

Either
(Andrena denticulata)
Or
Yellow-legged Mining Bee (Andrena flavipes)
There are dark hairs on the thorax but they seem more brown than actually black?
Is this enough for A denticulata?
Not in this case.
Nick commented probably A flavipes

Seems to fit the description
Pale hair on the clypeus - some dark hairs on the head.
The abdomen has pale marginal bands at the edges of tergites 1-5 , with hair length decreasing from T1-T5.
There are bands of of sparser, longer hairs on T1 & T2.
The scopa is entirely orange and the hairs protrude outwards making them visible.
After all that this turned out to be Willughby's Leafcutter Bee (Megachile willughbiella)
