    It was easy; I had limited availability of photos.

    Is not the first person that provide a specific ID correct, the one that must post the next photo?

    That's technically how it works, but if @CheeseChameleon1945 wants someone else to have a turn I don't see why this round can't be first-come, first-serve.

    It’s an insect, and I think a bee rather than a mimetic fly; I also think the flower being visited is North American.

    It is a North American flower, specifically a Culver's Root (Veronicastrum virginicum).

    Is it bombus or a related genus?

    Difficult to guess from the photo, but it looks more a hoverfly to me.
    The plant is Veronicastrum virginicum so yes, it's a North American plant.

    Edit: Ouch, birdsandbats already said the plant :confused::confused:

    It does look more mimic than bee, but I think nevertheless that it might be the Eastern Carpenter Bee Xylocopa virginica.
