It's definitely a swallowtail. It's hard to tell which kind because of the angle of the picture but it looks like it's most likely a two-tailed swallowtail. Also, the two-tailed swallowtail is the official butterfly of Arizona, where this one was spotted. http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/Arizona/s...
Looks like a Two-tailed Swallowtail, but Arizona also has the Western Swallowtail which is similar. So I am sure someone can narrow it down
