Leptoglossus phyllopus
The straight white or pale yellow bar crossing the back is distinctive to this species. In other Leptoglossus species it may be zig-zagging or broken into dots. In one species (L.ashmeadi) it is yellow-orange. (information from BugGuide)
Found on a buttonbush, next to a pond with several species of shrubs and trees.

My favorite genus of true bugs. I saw a pair of Piezogaster today. Couldn't get a good shot.
