Hello!
I found this one (10-12 mm) yesterday evening at our house (northwest Germany). Could it have hatched from the exuvia below left (mostly
Osmia bees there)?
In the gallery I have found no exact match. Could it be an
Anthrax species?
More and bigger pictures here (text in German):

freshly emerged female
Anthrax anthrax, certainly from the adjacent exuvia.

Many thanks! Then the pale dark colour of the wing markings is due to freshly emerging...
