A new bee for me

Lord Vetinari

Spotted this bee on the same fence post (horizontal) I've been photographing many leaf cutter bees. I think it's a Coelioxys elongata female, a kleptoparasite of leafcutter/mason bees. A wonderful looking bee though.
Natural light . Focus stacked using zerene.
600D/sigma 105 OS.

Brian,

A very nice bee. I agree on the genus and probably on the species.
