Lasioglossum (Dialictus)

Hi Tom...
I am seeing a lot of these recently. I am calling them Halictids.

Hope someone verifies that ID. Good photo!

I'd agree.
Nothing on the specimen shouts "Andrenidae!" or "Colletidae!" which are the ones most often confused with Halictidae. Here in Tucson I am seeing lots of Colletes right now, a few Agapostemon and miscellaneous other halictids.
