Hello Volker,

it's a female bee of the genus Hylaeus (Yellow-Face-Bees). Probably Hylaeus (Prosopisternon) littleri. Look at the small yellow markings in the face.

Best regards
Volkmar

Thanks a lot, Volkmar, for your ID help!
That's really great, that you could identify this tiny bee from my fotos.
Comparison with pictures in the internet looks perfect.
Best regards,
Volker
