Without seeing the face it is hard to guess at the species. If there were no apparent pale face marks, the most likely possibilities are not in the genus Hylaeus but are Amphylaeus obscuriceps or A. nubilosellus, which has only minute pale face marks.

Thank you for sharing your expertise. It's not always easy to get a face photo of these tiny things :)
