I think confidence would be to do a task given without hesitation and knowing that you'll complete it. Over-confidence would be when you become too big for your boots, tend to be cocky, rushing into things than getting it all wrong.

Confidence means the person has the detailed knowledge of his work, resulting in that he/she performs successfully. On the other hand, overconfident person doesn't have detailed knowledge of their work but still, the person thinks that he can do it which results he/she fails mostly.

Confidence is the ability to do and don't things that we have.

Over-confidence is when our work is less than we have or our ability.

Confidence : it means that I have knowledge about my work and I can say confidently that I can do this work.

Over confidence : it means the person didn't have any knowledge about their work and still that person is saying that I can do this work.

Confidence is yes I can do this.
Over confidence is I am the only person who can do this.

In other words,

Confident people may say I will achieve my goal one day.
But overconfident people may say I will definitely achieve my goal.
