Against ALL other expert opin
Against ALL other expert opinion, I think this is albifrons. In those I consider to be agrorum females, they have the narrowest point of the black central stripe on tergite 2 at the most anterior point of the markings and then widening throughout its length whilst this has the narrowest point at the middle of the black central stripe before widening.
Note also, the markings on tergite 3 are restricted here by comparison to agrorum.

Thanks! I like them myself! Sometimes the lens does what I want it to.

Bidens alba
, or something similar. Here is a link to more info:
