Male Hygrotus sp.
Probably not a species covered by Larson (2000). The closest I could get is H. nubilus but the color pattern doesn't seem right. Best to contact someone familiar with the southwestern fauna.

 
In the U of Arizona Collection
these are ided by Fery as Hygrotus fraternus

 
male, too
very expressive, exclamatory coloration
