Tachinid - Tachina
San Francisco Mountain, north of Flagstaff, Coconino County, Arizona, USA

Gold face and fuzzy, yellow collar. There's several similar specimens at three different taxonomic levels in the Guide: . If we all chip-in, we could hire a dipterist.

Probably genus Tachina.
Looks very similar to specimens I have that were identified by a tachinid expert as Tachina sp. Moving to subfamily level for now.
