Moved from ID Request.

it does look like N. bella
if it has a preapical mandibular tooth it should be that species

I added a shot of the mandibles showing two teeth (if I understand the term correctly).

The abdomen of the Nomada bella male on discoverlife is mostly pale reddish. Why the difference?
