Calliopsis (Nomadopsis) - Calliopsis puellae - Male Female
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, San Diego County, California, USA
March 28, 2005
Size: right--BL 8.5-9 mm
This is the only other photo I have. Details are really hard to see because of the ample white pollen. It does look like the face on the right is black. At least I don't see a bright yellow or white clypeus shining through.
