The conehead is a female Long-winged Conehead nymph - nymph
because the stripe is black not brown (hence why the wings aren't fully developed)

The images below I thought were

Tormentil Mining Bee (Andrena tarsata)

Things are never quite that simple.

Apparently there are a number of A dorsata in amongst these pictures.

Nick Owens comment

Some of the tormentil bees are Andrena dorsata – but very worn. They have more distinctive white side-bands and rufous hairs on the thorax – also a bit bigger I think.
The tibia is dark not orange as in A. tarsata though you can’t see this under the pollen.

So I'm going to put a D to ones I think are A dorsata looking for the distinctive white side bands and rufous hairs on the thorax.

Thus If I managed to find one Tormentil Mining Bee I was lucky.

Not quite

The Wonderful Mr Willughby's Bee

Willughby's Leafcutter Bee (Megachile willughbiella)

Thanks to Nick Owens for id.

Nick then passed on these comments, which I ma very grateful for.

M. centuncularis has only orange pollen hairs under its abdomen – and they stick out round the edge like a halo, when seen from above.
M. willughbiella and M. maritima both have dark pollen hairs near the tip, but maritima has whitish hairs towards the front end,
whereas these hairs have more orange colour in willughbiella (photo p. 148 in Bees of Norfolk).
You can’t really see this in your photo though.
M. maritima has more prominent white bands and also longer hairs on the front basi-tarsi if you can see that!
I think they are short on your specimen and the bands are not obvious.
You can see these hairs on the Holkham photo against the yellow petal. M. maritima is darker on top when fresh.
Hope that helps – always tricky with photos. A profile photo is useful for Megachile.
I’ve added M.circumcincta in case you see it (present at Holkham on bird’s-foot trefoil).
It has long hairs on the top of the abdomen which are black towards the hind end and no clear bands.
