It is definitely a Carpenter Bee. We have been invaded by them here. 75 bore holes in one beam in the barn this year... Wet year, means lots of flowers, lots of flowers means lots of bees.
I think your pictures should be on Arthropods category instead
Hi Dennis, I think this is a Carpenter bee, probably Xylocopa virginica
