Peter, in images 2 and 3 the scutum looks as though it has large shallow punctures. Are you confident that this is not Homalictus punctatus?

Michael, slightly smaller than H. punctatus, T1 punctate, scutum pitted, but less than H. punctatus. Inner hind tibial spur consistent with Lasioglossum (Chilalictus).

Good. Then it is L. hemichalceum. (Or L. erythrurum.)
