It's more likely Nomada flava.

Janet | I agree with Janet. However, one really can not be certain from photographs.
No. ruficornis usally has a redder abdomen than this specimen, and has diagnostic bifid mandibles (not on view in this pic of course. Separation of N. flava from N. panzeri is a microscope job, and relies on the hair colours on the legs and the lower face |
