Cuterebra (rodent bot)
I can't quite get this one to species by the photo. It is for sure a Cuterebra and the eye and face are of a rodent bot, not a rabbit bot. And few rodent bot species flying in Sept in AZ. If you have any other photos of this one from the same fly, even out of focus from the front or lower on the side would help determine species. Really nice shot, thanks for the post.
