Saw it cutting leaves of a Crotalaria retusa plant and flying away. It returned after a few minutes and did the same.

I found some old photos that look like male of Gnathonomia.
These photos are all taken in the same place and on the same day as this observation:

different flower means different bee individual
Sorry that at that time I'm not good at photographing.

An amazing find. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that this female is found collecting salt (NaCl), on garbage from the head of fish. Someone threw fish heads in the trash. The fish was pre-salted. On this rotting (but still fresh - no more than 24h) fish. Among the flies was this bee, obviously collecting something from the scales. Most likely the bee was collecting salt. This behavior of bees has been described and previously noted by me in Russia in Apis mellifera bees.
