Bee or Wasp? - Bicyrtes ventralis

Bee or Wasp? - Bicyrtes ventralis
Dripping Springs, Hays County, Texas, USA
May 16, 2020
Size: 10 - 15 mm
Body color primarily a reddish-brown. Unable to get good pics of it's abdomen but it tapered to a point. Hoping the facial pattern is distinctive enough for an ID? Update: Identified on iNaturalist.org, by Dr. Ascher, as being in Stink Bug Hunter Wasps (genus Bicyrtes).
