Solifuges (aka camel spiders, wind scorpions, sun spiders, etc.) are not true scorpions. Put under "True Spiders & Other Arachnids".

Looks like it's part of the Vaejovis genus. Can't exactly narrow the species down, but it could be Vaejovis confusus

You'll need to examine the chelal fingers (claws) under magnification for a positive ID.

eusthenura group
Vaejovis bilineatus
Vaejovis coahuilae
Vaejovis confusus
Vaejovis diazi
Vaejovis diazi diazi
Vaejovis diazi transmontanus
Vaejovis eusthenura
Vaejovis flavus
Vaejovis galbus
Vaejovis glabrimanus
Vaejovis globosus
Vaejovis gravicaudus

All of these are very similar in appearance.
