Hi Michael, when it comes to native bees I'm afraid I'm a rank amateur taking a guess at the IDs. I confess I didn't see the face markings. I've added a profile shot of the face - it's the best I've got, the face was constantly planted well into the flower! I suspect you may have to downgrade the ID. I'l aim to improve by next spring!
