Many Euryglossa species have variable amounts of red on the body. Because this bee does not appear to have the golden hair at the back of the head that is characteristic of E. depressa, I think it more likely to be E. ephippiata.

A red thorax and black or dark abdomen seem to be repeated in widely different families of bees
