Anthidium - Anthidium manicatum

Really no clue on this... Stratiomyidae was the closest I could come up with, but I might be completely out to lunch.... Behaving like a large overweight drone fly - all over the foxgloves. Three photos of the same guy. Would appreciate any help!

It's a bee, isn't it?
Check the eyes and antennae. Neat critter!
