Andrena female
The pollen is carried primarily on and between the scopae on its tibia, femora, trochanter (the floccus), and propodeum (not under the abdomen).

Its dark wings suggest that it may be A. nubecula, but I'm not certain.

Well,
based on the fact that it carries pollen on it's abdomen, I'd say that it is some kind of leaf cutter bee. can't tell you any more than that...i hope it helps!
