New Species - Common Furrow Bee

Probably. I am not 100% on this having just delved into lots of new technical terms and a complex key in the 'Field Guide to the Bees of GB & Ireland' but the small dead bee I found inside the house looks like a female Common Furrow Bee Lasioglossum calceatum) to me. Luckily the distribution and flight season fit nicely so I think I'll go with that ID.
