Probably one of several spp. of Megachile spp. bees. also the introduced African Carder bee   There are plenty about at present and i have been enjoying photographing them of late.  Plenty of images on my flikr account, also Canberra nature map.

We have the classic bbb in our yard from time to time, but yesterday I saw one in the yard which was clearly the same genus, and similar colouring, but only half the size, and it didn’t hover.
Does anyone know which so this is?
