This does look like one of the Caterpillar Hunters from Genus Calosoma. It does look quite similar to the Fiery Searcher. Please check out the links provided by suzmonk and I and update your spotting. :-)

I think it's a Fiery Searcher, also called a Caterpillar Hunter. See what you think, here's a link: http://bugguide.net/node/view/389.
