Calling this a corduroy bee, because that it what it looks like, until further ID is possible. It was listed as "Andrena sp." by John Ascher on Bugguide.net.
Adding two photos of it on the ground, cropped from phone. I think that was a different day. Only saw it twice.

wenatcheebDescripción
Small black bee, with white hairs, and extra-large jaws. There is a prong between her mandibles.
I’m curious about what the adaptation for these mandibles might be. This is a small bee and she is quite top heavy looking.

This was an aggregation of maybe 50 nests in silty soil near the slough. The entrance holes were much larger than the bees who were entering, a phenomenon I’ve never seen before. Last photo gives an overall view of the aggregation.

I suspect this is a brood-parasitic Dialictus, based on the large head and wide gena and the behavior (crawling around an aggregation of Dialictus nests https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/232129294#activity_identification_3d8e6eba-83c0-494a-abc6-6a870bf41209 )

Aggregation of nests; two different bees poking heads out of different small holes. Third photo shows area, hard-packed dirt. This drew my attention because there were piles of fairly large dirt particles, I thought might be turret bee nests, but no evidence of any large bees. There is a lot going on, including anthills and beetles moving around. The estimate of 20 nests is very rough, hard to say what is a nest and what isn’t. I did notice possible brood parasitic dialictus crawling around, seeming to be looking for nests. These had large heads and wide gena. Photos 4 and 5 are “normal” dialictus, which I assume are similar to those constructing and provisioning the nests, which are similar to L imitatum.

I have observed this species for a number of years and it doesn't show up until mid-August and seems to prefer goldenrod.

On dogbane. This is my guess based on the thick wavy setae, so don't blame AI.
