Female
Promachus species. Quite a group out there. May be albifacies but there are several species I have not seen out that way. And the keys are incomplete. It is not minisculus or giganteus or sackeni.

thanks as always Herschel. We saw a ton of robbers in Arizona. Problem was that my target was butterflies so I often ignored them. next time
