Small and slender bee (<10mm), with relatively large abdomen. I think it is of the Halictidae family but don't have any idea of the genus.

Thank you,

Joaquim Gaspar

At the same area and time, I also shot this other bee, which appears to be of the same genus. Is it? I know it is not good practise to insert different species in the same thread, but I'm trying to learn how to identify this family.

I think it belongs to the same genus, but it is better to wait for the experts Wink.

Above a male of Lasioglossum, and below a female of Halictus, near scabiosae.
