Desert Anthophorine Bee - Anthophora -

Tonopah Desert, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA
May 29, 2015
Size: about 1cm

This green-eyed Bee looks like a female Anthophora curta, but I'm not sure if the quality is good enough to tell. I would frass all of these images, unless something is important.

Thanks for your help!
