I can't find anything that matches this little bee, probably 2 or 3 flying around with other native bees.

Thanks Michael, Is this uncommon for the ACT

It is probably not uncommon because it has been found from Kangaroo Island to northern NSW. The patchy distribution indicated in ALA is probably a simple combination of limited collecting and incomplete recording of the material in Australian collections.
