Cuterebra fontinella fontinella female
This is a female mouse bot C. fontinella. It is a parasite of white footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus. Nice series of pics. The key to ID of these is the white last segment on the last tergite (rump). Also the dark section on the top of the back (behind the head), which would be lighter on C. f. grisea. Thanks for posting.
