Looks like E.spinipes to me...
Can't be sure though.

Probably...
Can't quite verify the shape of the pronotum (which was deformed when teneral most likely) or see the fore femora. Would be a very good record for the species, perhaps the furthest NW known.

E. spinipes macrura
No doubt about it, I don’t see anything else this could be, as for the location, there have been E. spinipes ventricosa found in northern Texas and Southern Oklahoma if iNat records are to be believed. Though the westward nature of this one is cool.
