Habropoda
As can be distinguished from Anthophora via wing venation.
Seems to be one of the species related to H. tristissima.

Hi James,
I had meant to look at wing venation, but forgot over doing other things. Will check now.
And right you are! Does look like a pale form of H. tristissima.
Thanks again, James, for helping.
