Valley Carpenter Bee? - Melissodes bimaculatus

Valley Carpenter Bee? - Melissodes bimaculatus
Orleans City Park, Orleans Parish, Louisiana, USA
October 24, 2017
Seemed a bit smaller than Western Carpenter Bee, with which I am somewhat familiar. I know that Valley Carpenter Bee should not occur in LA, but does not seem correct for Southern Carpenter Bee. Probably a third alternative I've not thought of. In flowers in open patch adjacent to deep woody patch in extensive city park
