User's notes
Could this pair be a Homalictus sp? They appeared to be 5-7mm in size. Images 3 & 4 show the female after the male left.

Thank you, Michael, for suggesting the species. That encourages me to keep photographing tiny native bees, even when I probably won't capture enough detail for a species ID.
