not similar to nuda

Trachandrena?
Thank you! I should have looked past the white scopa. This one does look long legged and slimmer than A. nuda. Do I at least have the right subgenus - Trachandrena?

definitely not Trachandrena
note smooth propodeum entirely lacking longitudinal striae of Trachandrena

I think this is Andrena confederata in subgenus Melandrena. Note dark wings and short vertex.
