Thank you very much Ismael, Auntie, and Tamar! Auntie, I was thinking the same thing, and noticed the head and antennae did not seem to fit as well. Tamar, thank you so much again! I didn't even think to check the sawflies! From now on, when in doubt, check the sawflies!

I am pretty sure on the ID. Please confirm. There is at least one other species in the area but it doesn't have that golden abdomen from what I can tell.

Looks rather like a golden bee fly except for the bee's head and funky antennae. Maybe one of the leafcutting bees?
