Might be A. cyanipennis, but it's lacking the dark smudge on the pronotum typical of that species. This alone may not be important, but an examination of specimens would be needed to conclusively match it to A. cyanipennis.

@KimberiRP interesting isn't it? I have sighted several of these now and can't find one with a smudge one of these I put up on CNM and it snuck into A cyanipennis which led me to believe the smudge was not mandatory for I.d and it must be the (cyan) colour!
