It looks like a black bumblebee with the legs full of pollen. 25 mm long (one inch). It is on a wall at night.
Subtropical forest.
Thank you Juan DiTrani for the ID
its probably an Epicharis bee
Hi Luis. This is not a Bumblebee. Bumblebee and Apinae bees don´t have hairy hind legs, instead, they have a Spoon-like structure for gattering the pollen.
