Megachile? - Megachile gemula - male

Megachile? - Megachile gemula - Male
Barton, Orleans County, Vermont, USA
June 25, 2015
On birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus)
We're pretty sure of Megachile but were wondering (if we are correct) if it could get down to species? thank you.
I included two similar shots because one shows orange between abdominal segments and the other, that doesn't, is a better shot. It was a difficult busy bee to catch in the wind and it seems naturally very busy and bouncy.
