Nomada, Nomad Bees (Nomada) » ruficornis species group
is as close as I could get this, I'm fairly certain this is right, but none of the Nomada posted have the black bands on the abdomen like this one does.
Sorry for the excess of photos, I'm not sure which will be useful and which aren't, Frass the unnecessary ones.

found

Nick, my neighbor found this in his house and brought it to me. I chilled it in the fridge for 15 minutes or so then got about 27 shots before it flew off just after the last shot, I barely missed it with open wings... one chance and one only...
