I found this one in beech and oak wood near nests of Andrena (sp. and clarkella).
Could it be a female of Leucophora obtusa ?

I think L.obtusa is right.
(on photo 2 we see an ad on t2, on photo 3 we see vague 2 posterior setae, prealar long , scutellum with several hairs on lateral margins, eyes approximated and antenna seems almost bare)

Thanks :)
Is it possible to see if it's a female ?

Always a bit difficult with Leucophora, but i don't see numerous setaea on hindfemur beneath and distance between eye margins are equal to the broad of the posterior sice of ocelli.......so must be a female.
