This potter wasp was photographed last year on August 3rd in my garden on the Golden rod, Solidago plant.
I have also seen a similar one in my conservatory today.

It looks like a type of Ancistrocerus to me.

From the pattern/shape of the yellow bands, is it possible to tell what type of Ancistrocerus it is?

Tilehurst - Reading - Berkshire - UK.

It's nearly impossible to identify most Ancistrocerus by photos, also the present specimen.
