Not sure what happened there! Photo now uploaded.

This is a tricky one. Not only are there many other possibilities, but there is a long history of L. hemichalceum being mistakenly called L. erythrurum. So even with close examination it can be hard to separate species.

Thanks Michael - any tips for features I should try and make sure I capture to help with ID in bee photos? Although so much depends on whether they're willing to keep still!

Not in this case. No photograph could capture the minute details that separate similar species.
