Andrena? - Andrena erythronii - Reed-Turner Woodland Nature Preserve, Lake County, Illinois, USA April 17, 2008
I believe this is a Andrena erythronii. Found in the same location as last year but no trout lilies blooming yet. Only spring beauty and hepatica. Seen burrowing in ground. After seeing another similiar bee on bugguide I am leaning towards Colletes inaequalis.
