weird... looks a lot like pallipennis but for the color

 
Yep
that's why I posted it. They all looked like that on that Acacia

 
is there any chance
you grabbed a specimen? I would be interested in seeing it if thats possible...

 
No, sorry
I didn't

 
Fresh eyes on this
Nitops floralis, hence the resemblance to pallipennis but the color throwing people off
