Here it something that died in the window screen. I set it on a coconut and took this photo. Is it some kind of bee?

Dear G. Fischer,
We requested assistance from Eric Eaton with this identification and here is his response: “Daniel: Yes, one of the orchid bees in the Euglossini tribe, or a closely-allied tribe. Eric“
