Confidence means knowing you can do it attitude still working on a contingency plan if things won't work according to your wish.

Overconfidence means I will achieve it anyhow, nothing will go wrong and will resolve every problem without having plan B if plan A fails.

Confidence comes from the understanding that success will be always accompanied by failure.

Confidence is the attitude of a person towards a job to which he or she is assigned irrespective of the results.

Over confidence is that one always expecting good results.

Confidence is an innate virtue in every individual. It is one of the building blocks of one's personality.

Now, coming to the question asked; confidence is when you know you are capable enough for any kind of work. Most importantly, it's when you believe in yourself. Overconfidence is when you feel that you're better than other, which is self destructive in some circumstances.

After taking some initiatives, realizing that the desired task is possible is confidence. Assuming that someone will help and makes our life better without even taking a risk is overconfidence. Though it works out for fewer people.
