Coeloxys mexicanus. A southern species that ranges from the far south east into Florida, from there is arcs around the Gulf and heads into Mexico into Central America. I am not aware of what species of bee's (almost certainly a Megachile) nest it invades. I think of most members of the genus as sharp dressers and C. mexicanus does not disappoint. This one from Georgia.
