Lipotriches and Lasioglossum can look very alike, but the pale hair bands are always on the rear edge of the abdominal segments in Lipotriches and the front edge in Lasioglossum. It looks to me as though these images are of a Lasioglossum species.

Thanks Michael, I tossed up between the two for quite a while.
