Another Yellow Perdita? - Perdita bicuspidariae - male

Another Yellow Perdita? - Perdita bicuspidariae - Male
Upper Box Canyon, northeast of Mecca, Riverside County, California, USA
March 30, 2011
Another small yellow bee resting on corolla of Mentzelia involucrata. Looks like it may be the same taxon as this Perdita...and I'm presuming it's a male because it was just laying in wait on the edge of the corolla, rather than busily collecting pollen...and it has no scopa on the hind tarsi.
