How about a Knight?

So, replace the pawn at d3 with a knight and the point of the puzzle remains - force the King onto a forking square. I suspect that the author chose a pawn to disguise the take by making it less valuable materially. If the Queen is elsewhere the puzzle either changes dramatically (probably a mate), or becomes too obvious as the only Queen check.

Or a knight for black?

If black starts with a knight on e1 then whites "pre-puzzle" move of Re1 (or rather Rxe1) makes sense.
