Hi, could someone id this Bee for me please,it's the size of a Honey Bee but it has a lot of white about it ie; on it's legs and there is only the one of them,the nearest I could find when I've googled is a Leafcutter species.
Thank you.

I think you're right, it's a leafcutter or mason bee, genus Megachile. I couldn't tell you the species, though.
