Sweat Bee - Ceratina

Size: 6.0 mm
Swept from dried grass, I believe. I think it's a Halictid of some sort.

Not sweat bee.
This is a small carpenter bee, genus Ceratina, family Apidae, probably a male (large ivory mark on clypeus).

I had no idea...
Eric, thanks a lot for the correction. That's why it looked wrong for a Halictid.
