Hi Brian,
I'm not sure if this is a male or a female.
If it is a male, then it is H. roseum.
In case of a female this could be H. chloropygum (females can be without extended violet reflections on T3) or H. rossicum (= [i]valesiense[/i]). Of course, it could be H. roseum, but the punctation of metasoma looks too much dense and coarse.
In this area there are other species with the same colouration, but with slightly different shape of the head: H. mediocrum and H. sculpturatum.
Anyway, without the specimen in your hands ... it's impossible to add something else.
Thanks
Paolo
