Is this a large stink bug? Sorry about the picture. It wouldn't let me take a picture of its face.

Not an expert but...
To add to the comment by

...
Acanthocephala terminalis
based on the orange/red tip on the antenna.
And I also think you had a great angle as far as making the ID. The face isn't important. The antenna, the shape of the flange on the hind tibia and the view of the back covers the main three characteristics the differentiate this from other members of the same Genus.
Acanthocephala confraterna
is probably the closest and hardest to distinguish from your specimen.
