Can anyone identify this type of bee

Some type of mining bee, Grey-banded possibly.

Kaz is our expert. I'm sure she'll look in soon

Looks like a hover fly, which one exactly I'm not sure as they don't have the common names just Latin.....

Look again, it has antennae.

I have never seen a hoverfly carrying a pollen load before..

Could it be an actual honey bee rather than a solitary Andrena or Halictus?

 

[Millet]

I would put money on it being a species of honey bee.

Native / near native dusted in pollen.
