Not very likely it's Ocyptamus costatus

You're way out of range; that one is in the Great Lakes area. Martin is an expert, so genus Ocyptamus is probably as far as this identification will go.

Go to this Info page for details on range: http://bugguide.net/node/view/29308.

Then click on the Data tab to see a map showing where and when Bug Guide posts for this insect originated.

thanks

Possibly you are right, I did not see the black middle line on face. The face of my species is all black. However, I will try to catch another one for ID.

I'm sure someone here will give you an ID shortly.
I just wanted to let you know this is a fly, not a bee.
If you want you can try looking through the fly section here.
