Should be a suggested ID not confirmed as I am not a bee moderator

Very difficult. Colours can be tricky especially in photos. Occasionally, Hylaeus honestus can seem to have a very slight bluish sheen so I think we have to say that the bee may be either H. honestus or H. perplexus with the latter more likely, but the former a more abundant species.

Thanks Michael, I was going to suggest H. honestus as a possible until I noticed the image with the blue sheen
