Sepedon sp., female
ID confirmed from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks John.

I'll try to get Bill Murphy to look at it sometime.

Thanks Brad
My guess would be S. armipes, I have posted the males with their distinctive notched hind femur and this one looks very close to those.

Thanks for all the Ids/vouchers!

You so don't need to apologize
I feel lucky to have access to someone with such a broad expertise. Always exciting when you find the time to look at my bugs, I fully understand how precious time can be.
