Looks like 8955, Dark Marathy
Looks like 8955, Dark Marathyssa - dark grey & rose with a black spot, & the pm line meets the inner margin at close to a right angle - also 8956 probably wouldn't be flying by this date.

Marathyssa
A Marathyssa species, probably Marathyssa inficita minus.

Arizona
It's found in Arizona. I'm not certain on specifics and/or elevations. It is the only Marathyssa species listed on Bruce Walsh's site.
