Colletes.
This is a female Colletes sp., little doubt. With all due respect to Adalbert, his identifications are sometimes dubious (as mine often are). For truly reliable bee identification, I trust Doug Yanega at UC Riverside (he sometimes visits Bugguide, too).

Thanks!
Thanks, Eric! I've read a couple of Yanega's papers & cited one in a recent paper of mine for a class. Seems like he does cool work.

Adalbert might know.
He's our Colorado bee expert. He has submitted a great many images that have yet to be processed in case you'd like to have a look.
