It's tough to get accurate color with flash, so I guess it's safer to stick at the species level. Thanks for your help Keith.

Maybe, I thought the elytra had a greenish tinge to them which is why I was leaning towards L. tricolor. Could be just the light, though.

Thanks Keith - how about Lebia collaris?

Maybe L. tricolor.
