Still a lot of photos from this time last year I haven't gone through, including a very small Andrena seen at this aggregation. Hoping for some time to sort through these soon...

Description

Would love some ID help on this one, as I wasn't having great luck with DiscoverLife on it. This lone female was seen in a nesting aggregation of A. regularis on a dirt hiking path at the edge of woods and field.
I'll spare you the ~100 or so photos I took and summarize the features that were visible in one photo or another:

  • broad pale foveae
  • weak but probably(?) complete tergal fasciae. By viewing various angles I think they are complete but definitely sparser in the middle.
  • Fine, distinct, somewhat crowded punctures on scutum
  • Vertex ~1-1.5 ocellar distances
  • F1 equal or slightly greater than F2+F3
  • pygidial plate with raised internal triangle
  • m+cu vein meets submarginal cell at around 2/3 of the way
  • tibial scopa pale (with dark hairs extending from basitibial plate)
  • tergites appear crosshatched, not shiny.

I was not able to get any shots showing the face head-on, as the bee kept turning away from me. One oddly-angled photo appeared to show a long malar space and an unpitted midline but I cannot be certain. Good-sized, a little larger than the male A. regularis roaming about.
Flowers blooming at this location nearby were Salix, Hepatica, and Sanguinaria. I do have some footage of it digging as well, but it only shows the abdomen. Soil was dense, clay-loam I am guessing. Not sand.
