Carpenter bee Xylocopa auripennis. A solitary bee that often makes its home in dead wood. You can often find a lot of pollen on the legs of these bees.

Less space at the bottom would have been better. If possible, moving to the right to avoid the diagonal twig would have improved the composition. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
