Rhagio hirtus or vertebratus
It looks most like Rhagio vertebratus, although according to the Bugguide maps R. hirtus, not vertebratus, is found in the region.
Interesting to notice that on iNaturalist R. hirtus and R. vertebratus have been merged into one species, R. hirtus being a junior synonym.
