Probably Meroglossa - maybe M. sulcifrons by the shape of the yellow markings, but not enough detail to confirm. Could also be Amphylaeus.

I have a number of other photos - what would help to narrow down possible ID? They aren’t amazing pics, but happy to submit a further post

The large yellow patch below the pronotal tubercle indicates that it is Meroglossa. The Amphylaeus species with dark faces do not have that. Females of the two species M. itamuca and M. sulcifrons are very difficult to separate and there are even occasional specimens that seem to be intermediate.
