Calliopsis (Nomadopsis) - Calliopsis - female

Calliopsis (Nomadopsis) - Calliopsis - Female
Eaton Canyon Natural Area, Los Angeles County, California, USA
April 30, 2007
Size: 6 mm
At no time did these bees hold still, thus not very clear images. However, the abdominal pattern shows pretty well (different angle & lighting doesn't show the gray/blue as much).
Same species as here: 1 .

I don't think so,
since they lack pollen-collecting structures.
