Greetings,

They are nearly always very white-faced with facial ridge bristles extending up about half way or more. In the last photo I might also squint and convince myself that I can see the saw-toothed ventral edge of the tergites, typical in females :)

an obvious clue of course is that the ocellar bristles are lacking.
