Hi Dick,

This looks like Abrachyglossum capitatum. The tongue is long and strongly chitinized in Abrachyglossum capitatum, short and fleshy in Leopoldius sp. If the third antennae segment has small thorns dorsally that would be a definite feature.
Rare and a recent addition to our fauna. I wrote an article about the species, see:

Greetings,
