user48153: Re: my question "What species is this gray bee?", I'd really like to know more about what I saw.
I've seen a number of species-identification posts, and did my best to give useful information, but I'm new to entomology, so maybe I'm not giving the right details?

I'm aware the photo is poor, and a better one could help a lot identify the bee, but unless I get a better camera, I don't think I can take a better picture.
Was the title too specific? Normally identification answers give the genus rather than the species. I'd be happy to know that, e.g. it is not an albino Apis melifera or even that it got someone puzzled.
Or is it that the question is just not interesting, or there is no one that can answer it?


user9943: The question is upvoted and perfectly ontopic here. In general, species ID questions are received well in this community. The information is sufficient and the only thing that will prevent it from being answered is the poor image quality and the image is the most important information I'm afraid.
