From woodland ride, female WL 9mm.
My first thought was that this was Phaonia valida but I can't see any obvious pd seta on the hind tibia so I have doubts about it even being phaonia. The aristae are plumose but there is no hint of red or yellow on the antennae, which are entirely black. I'd be grateful for an ID.

I'd say Mydaea urbana Mg.
If so, you should find setulae on radial node of wings, either on upper and lower sides. And fine setulae above hind coxa (not easy to find, some experience required).

Thanks Nikita
Excuse my ignorance, but are these the setulae you refer to ? ( not a very good photo I'm afraid )

Yes, it is these very setulae
