Not that confident that this is Lanarium, compared to some of the images I have looked at.

I am confident that this is a Leioproctus though the important characteristics are not completely clear in the images. Overall it looks too hairy for a Lasioglossum both on the face and on the thorax and the hair looks too long. I think I can see enough of the wing venation to rule out Lasioglossum and although I can't clearly see the fimbria at the end of the abdomen, equally I can't see the cleft that a Lasioglossum would have. And there is no sign of hair bands on the abdomen.

Thanks Michael,
I looked for the cleft and couldn't see it, also the black edges to the wings I hadn't seen before, but other than lanarium I didn't know where to put it.
