Male - Nomad Bee
His black head and thorax and light colored antennae, along with the red legs and mostly black femora, makes him look somewhat like this one, but we only have this single female (below) to compare with him, so far.
Nomada erigeronis: ♀ Let's see if Dr. Ascher knows of something better, because I'm just a beginner. Good Luck!

Not that species or group
This male is closer to N. maculata

Thanks Bob!
You are way ahead of me on these guys. I struggle to get the genus right, even after several years of effort. I am in awe of Dr. Ascher's skills with bee ID!
