Can't tell species.
You can't tell species (perhaps not even genus in this case) without a specimen in hand. It also looks more like a female to me (short antennae), but then the scopa doesn't look very well developed (pollen-carrying hairs found only on hind legs of females).

Check....
Sweat Bee (Family Halictidae), Patrick. They seem to be abundant at late blooming flowers.
