Acmaeodera amplicollis I think. There's no species page yet, but someone else posted one that looks almost exactly like this from AZ.

Not sure either.
I'll have to forward this one along to Rick Westcott. He is in Mexico, so it'll be a little bit before He gets back with a correct id. Yet another great looking buprestid.

Acmaeodera amplicollis
Hey Bob, Rick is back and he said that this is Acmaeodera amplicollis. Great shots for this species.

Thanks Joshua
Just posted 2 of these in pre-coital position. I'm going to be adventuresome and try and create a link for the "amplicollis" I referred to as being posted from AZ recently
