Andrena barbilabris
A fairly common species of heaths and sandy areas, A.barbilabris has a particular fondness for nesting on compacted areas, such as footpaths. The narrow head gives the female an almost hunch-backed appearance, other id characteristics are the pale, almost white scopae and the brown pale foveae. The pale bands at the rear edges of tergites 2-4 are restricted to the edges
