Small Bee - Perdita

Small Bee - Perdita
Motocross area near Westwood, Lassen County, California, USA
July 25, 2016
Size: Body length 5mm
Perhaps a genus Perdita? It is very similar to this previous submission: (1), but still a bit different, and with so many Perdita species I am not sure if it is or is not the same species.

My thanks for confirmation or otherwise.
