Any idea which Megachilidsp this is?

Afternoon Ben,

Lovely behavioural image. As for species, I suppose Megachile willughbiella could be worth a shot on account of the hair colour on the lateral view of the thorax - but more likely a microscope job I should think.

Take care,

Jason

Thanks Jason. I spotted it flying across the garden two or three times & it seemingly used the fence post as resting place every time, before flying on.
