Would someone be so kind as to help me with this unidentified bee? I've spent the last hour or more looking through Bugguide but haven't come up with anything that quite matches up. Thanks a bunch!

Male leafcutter bee.
Male Megachile species. The companion shot is awesome. Nice work.

Thanks Eric for the id and the compliment. I'd probably still be sitting at the computer!

Cheers.
