Lesser stag beetle?
It is a stag beetle, right?

It is indeed a Lesser Stag Beetle. Back to you.
It was easy; I had limited availability of photos.
I feel like someone else should go, I already did one very recently!

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.
I would prefer that Coelacanth, anyone want to volunteer?
It’s an insect, and I think a bee rather than a mimetic fly; I also think the flower being visited is North American.

American Bumblebee?
Is it the endangered in my area Rusty-Patched Bumblebee?
It is a North American flower, specifically a Culver's Root (Veronicastrum virginicum).
No.
No.
Is it bombus or a related genus?

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