This bee did not have the "jizz" of an E. Carpenter Bee and it was smaller. I never saw the face. Is it a species of Digger bees? Or perhaps a member of the Tribe Eucerini? Thank you for any ID suggestions. I found it on a large glade property belonging to the MO. Dept. of Conservation.
Resting on the leaves of a fringe tree. About 58 degrees at this time.
