I would go with this one
Two most important things for this species are the anterior subapical tooth (distinguishes vs. all but acaciae) and the rounded apex (vs. truncate in acaciae). I think the paramere is in better focus here and shows these aspects slightly more clearly than in the other one.

When you move to southeast AZ, you might find that the genus Aphalaroida is well represented there. You may find A. inermis there too, in addition to 4 others belonging to the group of species which have conspicuous setae on the head/thorax/wings. I think this is a very interesting genus, but seems to be quite neglected by most.
