It seems to have no hairs on notopleural depression, but maybe the are to fine to see...prealar strong
Arista seems bare, midtibia with av and a ventral seta
But frontals are all fine.....
And we can't see if the prosternum is haired..or if there are interfrontals present..
And i don't have many species to compare with...
Leucophora personata / sericea...?

I think it is more likely to be Leucophora obtusa, but can't really see the critical characters.
