With the 3rd antenna segment longer than 1+2 together and a very short-haired abdomen it should be C. intermedium according to the key http://web.archiv...x_key.html. Speight (2017, http://pollinator...counts.pdf) points out that "C. intermedium" is rather a species complex, and the individuals of central Europe might be C. lessonae. To find out in detail is a job for the experts and requires molecular studies...
