Andrena scotica (f)
This is one of a couple of dozen chocolate mining bees attempting to colonise a local wall recently tiled with stone wall tiles. Not sure if they will succeed, but they have established a number of nests in a rotting concrete wall nearby.
The main characteristics to me for identification are that the tail is the same colour as the rest of the abdomen and the dark and light pollen brush.
