Small Solitary Bee

I think that this might be a type of Scissor Bee (Chelostoma), but I'm not sure. I found it snoozing in a flower.

 

Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT, manual mode, key (A)and the fill (B) set to 1/16 -1/3 power. This is a single frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Photo AI and Clarity in that order.
