Another!

One pic only but I have cropped the head end off so posting 2 pics. On 1st May 2009, on a brick at base of my garage. Near Lincoln UK.

It seems to have no hairs on notopleural depression, but maybe the are to fine to see...prealar strong
Arista seems bare, midtibia with av and a ventral seta
But frontals are all fine.....
And we can't see if the prosternum is haired..or if there are interfrontals present..
And i don't have many species to compare with...
Leucophora personata / sericea...?

Thanks Joke, at least I was somewhere near;)

For now, unless someone can say more I will call it Leucophora personata / sericea:)

I think it is more likely to be Leucophora obtusa, but can't really see the critical characters.
