Not sure of the ID the facial markings seem to match other images but the colour of the hind legs may not be right

E. fuscescens, E. flaviventris and E. hypochroma are all very common and impossible to tell apart without a microscope. All three show small amounts of colour variation.

Thanks Michael, I was really pleased to see this was a genus I hadn’t seen before, once I looked at the photos- I wasn’t even sure it was a bee with the naked eye
