Afternoon Chris,
It's from the Nomada genus - I suggest N. leucophthalma as a poss.
Nice to help you for once! 
Take care, Jason

Thanks... |

They are difficult, but a couple of the rarer ones seem distinctive enough to ID from photographs (as far as I know).

Also worth noting these are bee's. Although im pretty useless with IDing them. |

Just been running through some images on the net, Nomada marshamella looks close. Though i think my save bet is to leave it as a Nomada sp. |

It looks like you found it yourself afterall! I agree - N. marshamella - which is known as Marsham's Nomad Bee |

Everything looks to match Nomada marshamella, one I have had too.
