Does anyone know how I might work out what species of ground nesting bee is most likely living in this hole ?
Hole is about 10mm or so across, and I took the photo on one of the Dutch Wadden Islands.

Mastodon doesn't fail. The awesome @afewbugs has IDed this species as a Tawny Mining Bee. Shiny!
@quixoticgeek its most likely to be a masonry bee, but not 100% as there are other ground bees that it could be
