Found near the Red River, near a stretch of weeds/flowers. I've determined it is a Tiger Beetle but no idea which one.

Yes...
...Cicindela repanda based on the C-shaped humeral lunule (not G-shaped as in C. hirticollis).

Not an ID
I was thinking Cicindela hirticollis, from the image in Pearson, Knisley and Kazilek, A Field Guide to the Tiger Beetles of the United States and Canada. The stripes match well, the "hairy neck" is there, and the illustration even shows the long crossed mandibles.
See this page: .

But I'm no expert either.

I'd considered that one too, I'm just not very....well, at all familiar with which species of tiger beetles are in my neck of the woods.

I think you have Cicindela re
I think you have Cicindela repanda. I think I can see hairs sticking out from beneath the eyes. C. repanda would have setae on the "cheeks", while C. hirticollis does not. The shape of the lunate first spot is also more like C. repanda.

I thank you, my tiger beetle looks a lot like a C. repanda to me. I do see the setae under the eyes like you mentioned.

I am not familiar to tiger beetles away from Alberta but it is quite like the Twelve-spotted.
