Bill Warner says:
That species has unusual metatibae, clypeus and trochanters. The trochanters are not clear enough in the photo, but the tibae in the original shot and smooth/straight clypeal apex in the new dorsal shot peg it. Note that nearly all other species would require specimens in hand for an accurate det--this one is a common, but unusual species.

In AZ it occurs in most deep sand situations in western deserts and along the Colorado & Virgin Rivers (e.g. Dateland, Mohawk &Yuma area dunes, dunes around Ehrenburg, Parker and Beaverdam).
