I found this cerambycid feeding on the flowers of Desert Broom in a desert park in Phoenix. Any ideas as to what it may be?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, i
Thanks for your reply. Yes, it looks a little like those but the stripes weren't yellow but were grayish. It was also very hairy. Unfortunately, these are the only 2 images I have. Thanks again.

Reminds us a little of
Mannophorus or Sphaenothecus , but difficult to tell what is stripe and what is glare.
