Interesting.

Would be good to check a specimen vs. punctatus

Not sure about punctatus...
The face is not so noticeably punctate. The male (presumably, as this is my first time encountering a Colletid in Oregon) was seen the day prior on the same plant in my garden. Male has maculations very similar to H. Mesillae.
