I don't know if this one is identifiable to species or not from this one shot. I am pretty sure it is a Megachilid though, possibly genus Megachile?
Thanks for any input,
Tim

I believe this is Megachile albitarsis
female
note very pale hairs covering T6 and shape of white scuto-scutellar hair line and lateral hair patches.
Similar to M. petulans but can be distinguished based on above features (and mandibles of course if these were visible).
