This seems to be montezuma, the other spp. are excluded
by different coloration patterns or distribution (aztecus, miscogaster, guerreroi). This ID is somewhat tentative so others can check it, but if correct this is a new state record. Please also consider uploading the photo to inaturalist.

I'm in the middle of a month-long vacation abroad. I will upload it to iNaturalist when I am back in the US
