Platypedia sp. (P. putnami ?)
I'm a bit more inclined towards Platypedia.
1) appears small and "elongate" - Do you have measurements?
2) lots of setae ("hairy") - Typical of Platypedia
4) vertical orange line nearly bisecting the pronotum - Typical of Platypedia
5) head width approaches that of pronotum - Typical of Platypedia
Platypedia putnami
Platypedia spp.
There are a number of very similar species, often called western "semi-periodicals" due to mass emergences in some years.

Your comments...
seem to lead to
P.putnami. Appreciate the direction. Size was not measured, somewhere in the 25-35mm range.
