You're right, it looks like both of them. Do you know any way to tell them apart in the field?

Size for one....
Generally, Trichiosoma is 'much' larger, and lacks any metallic luster to the body. All Zaraea I have seen have been metallic to one degree or another.

This looks much more like Trichiosoma triangulum to me.
