Blood Bee Sp (Sphecodes Sp)
Possibly Sphecodes puncticeps
From previous photos Nick Owens commented
"I think it’s Sphecodes puncticeps. One of the photos shows a longitudinal groove on the front of the thorax and the head is broad.
It should have a single point on the mandible rather than a double one, but cannot see this in the photos. Often a heathland species.
The grove can just about be seen on this photo too.
Thank you
