Andrena - Andrena vicina - Female
Pleasantville, Westchester County, New York, USA
April 14, 2016
Size: 2/5 - 1/2"
View 7: Showing wing venation

This Andrena is in same area as A. barbilabris, but it lacks white bands. A. carlini also in area, but this bee has a lot of white hair on the top parts of its legs (instead of all black, like A. carlini?) Is this A. dunningi? Or something else?

Feeding on scilla and leafy spurge in pasture area bordering woodland.
