The world of bee look alike is big! This seems to be a pollinator, and has a decent amount of pollen on its hind legs. It does have an ant body type, but also appears to have wings.
Bee?
Hover fly?
Ant?
Hybrid?
Something else?

Very cool, thanks for the information! Taking up close photos of bees this summer has really opened my eyes to the amount of verity of bees that we have around here. I’ve also been alerted to the quantity of bee impersonators out there, so every time I find something new I have to ask myself, “is this really a bee?”. I hope to post more of these critters over the next week or so.
