Bumblebee ID (2 Viewers)

[George London]

Dear All,

Please could someone ID this for me (I think it’s a bumblebee of some sort)? Seemed small probably no bigger than 1.5cm. Taken near Colchester Essex today.

Sorry pictures not great.

Many thanks for any assistance/expertise. Best wishes George

Not a bumblebee at all but a female Tawny Mining Bee, Andrena fulva.

Didn't even know of a Tawny Mining Bee but after doing a web search I believe Aeshna5 is correct.

That’s it thank you!
