Chimney Bee Mouthparts & Body - Diadasia - Female

This shot shows her with what I think is another female, with bare hind legs.

At least three?
John, I'm glad that you have confidence in me, but I still feel somewhat unqualified anyway. I removed one shot of the wings and two shots of the mouth. (A,C,G) Thanks for your help!

NOTE: There are hundreds of clear views of her feet, that I didn't include. I'm not sure that they would help anyone with the IDs. Please let me know if you think that I should remove any more and I will limit the mouth shots to one or two, from now on, unless there is something important to see there.

Confusing the sexes
I found this image that is already labeled as "Female" and the parts look identical to me, so I'm confused. Please help!

Thanks goes out to Kurt, for the image.
NOTE: After reviewing images of the males, I'm more convinced that the second bee in my image is another female, possibly beginning to collect pollen.
