well, this one is metalic green, but yes, some times they are bright metalic, but is not a rule for the genus. For been sure is necessary to see the face (clypeus) of the bee.
Thanks for the ID Juan, I'm not sure about the genus, are all Augochlorella metallic green?
this is a sweat bee (Halictidae), possibly Augochlorella genus.
