The expected species is A. larreae
If creosote bush is blooming nearby.
The yellowish tan thoracic hairs are consistent with that species.
She should have a conspicuous yellow blister at e base of the mandible.

Lots of creosote bush
all around it. In fact that's all that's blooming right now. I'll check for the blister tomorrow. Thanks again!
