Humm, have you examined the link Fared gave. Those seem very similar to what I found.

Hi Logan. There are hundreds species of green metalic bees, very similar each other, in genus Augochlora, Augochlorella, Augochloropsis, Agapostemon an a few other genus. I honestly think you should keep your ID to family (Halictidae).
