Do you have a side view?
at least for the spp present in SE AZ, it is needed. Not so sure if they all reach

 
Kind of
I added the only other picture I have. It shows the side a little. Are there characteristics from a side view that helps with ID. Usually, if I post a side view, someone will respond to post dorsal views and side views are not helpful.

 
depends on the type of beetle
This genus you need to see hind leg, dorsal, epipleuron (where the elytra wrap around to the ventral side, antennal segments, and a few other odds and ends to make certain species calls...needed characters vary depending on beetle family, and boatloads can not be determined unless you dissect genitalia, no matter how good your images are.

 
most likely
Nicrophorus hybridus
