From a distance, several Megachile species look alike. M. heliophila usually has more orange on the abdomen so I would guess this might be M. oblonga, but it is hard to be sure.

Thanks Michael, I was swayed by M. heliophila being here this time last year. I’ll try to spot it again & hopefully get better shots
