Went back to where I found this bee 5 days ago. @beesip came along to see if we could find it again, and her eagle eyes spotted it soon after we arrived. Amazing! It was fast asleep, clinging to a tiny blade of dry grass.

Mating couple. They stayed still together on the ground for quite awhile, but would also fly around still attached and land again.

I don't think it's the right species but I don't have any better suggestions.

Possibly A. centriformis.
From Dr. Michael Orr:
'record looks a lot like Anthophora centriformis. It'd be a very fresh individual still with a lot of brown. The very wide whitish bands on the abdomen are pretty distinctive along with the brown.'
