No, but close.
This is a female sweat bee alright, but in the tribe Augochlorini. So, it is in the genus Augochlora, Augochlorella, or Augochloropsis. You might want to compare to images of those bees. The copperish color might narrow it down a bit, as most are decidedly metallic green. Nice images, and Jo Ann can't be faulted for confusing the other genus. I've just had lots of practice!
