Philanthus?
Here a a number of photos of Philanthus from not that far south of your location.
The characteristic that seems missing in this photo is the greenish eye with a pseudopupil, but that might just be because of different light.

Philanthus
Thanks so much for forwarding copies of your photos and the article. Good to have information from close to home!

Yes.
This is a female Philanthus, almost certainly P. gibbosus. Very nice shot:-)

Thanks
Thank-you, Eric - should I move it to P. gibbosus or leave it where it is?
