Ammophila sp.
Nice shot! Not sure that I've seen this species yet, but I did finally get most of my specimens to Arnold Menke in Bisbee just a couple weeks ago. So, by the time I get them back I'll be retired and able to go through Bugguide 4.0 and put names on all of these images:-)

my best guess is the Am. pruinosa species group
but it's just a guess

species ID may be difficult
