Either the sternocleidomastoid or the trapezius.... but because the sternocleidomastoid is not technically on the shoulders, nor the trapezius a "strap" I am a little confused by this question.... But I think the sternocleidomastoid is the best answer for this question aside from the reference to descent towards the shoulder. Hope this helps, a little ambiguous, I know.
