Follow-up on (https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4456762). I am guessing a Lasioglossum? hemichalceum based on (https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/1959f400-eee7-4719-8a60-538af420b1bc#gallery) or maybe its just a Homalictus spp.

It is not a Homalictus because it has punctures on the first segment of the "abdomen" (metasoma to be pedantic).

Hi Michael, Thanks again for the ID =) Glad that I had the chance to put it under a microscope to clarify things from my initial posts. Greatly appreciated again for the help.
