It looks to me like one of the small carpenter bees (Ceratina sp.) - http://bugguide.net/node/view/15027.

Thanks for that - you are right it does look more like a bee. The Andrena sp. are larger (8mm +) so I guess I will have to do a bit more research.

looks more like a tiny bee or wasp... maybe an Andrena sp.?
