It might be a Leioproctus species but ...

L. (Euryglossidia) species differ from L. (Leioproctus) species primarily by wing venation, which we cannot see. Most species in the former subgenus are more slender and have weaker hair on the hind leg than species in the latter, so I would think L. (Leioproctus) is more likely.
