Spoiler: Answer

White Rook to G5, forcing the black King to D4, then white Queen to D6 for checkmate

 

[YosemiteSam]

Actually, I just noticed a flaw in my answer. (the black bishop on H4)

No. It's Google heaven here....AND I LOVE Chess!
The image of my pink car didn't come up on the desktop either, but it did on my phone. I'll check back later on my phone.

Had to look at the source, it's a webp file, which isn't supported in Firefox by default IIRC.

Rg6
Any black move (Pc2, Kf5/Kd4, B(g5/f6/e7/d8), B(g3/f2/e1))
Qe4#

After Rg6, Wouldn’t Bf6 allow Kd6 after Qe4? Delaying the inevitable.
