There are tiny differences between Amegilla chlorocyanea and Amegilla asserta. Any metallic blue colour on the legs or slight differences in the hair bands at the very end of the abdomen can be used to identify A. chlorocyanea, but I can't see either in the pictures. That means it could be either species.

Probably should have clicked on Amegilla sp (genus), my mistake.
It really didn't want to stay still to have its photo taken.
