Bee ID Please - Halictus rubicundus - male

Bee ID Please - Halictus rubicundus - Male
Brighton, Northumberland, Ontario, Canada
August 9, 2008
Size: 1/2 +/-
I noticed this little bee tumbling about on the ground. Wings glistening in the sun. I am not sure about the behavior but it caught my eye. Sometimes it would just sit, wings whirring but going nowhere. I don't think I've seen one before with these markings on the legs.
