This beetle was brown with a light "V" on the elytra. Tribe Mordellistenini. Best guess from Bug Guide is Mordellistena sp but can't say definitively without seeing metatibial & metatrsal ridges.

Thank you beaker98. I was lucky to even get this one shot :)
These little guys are difficult to photograph because of how they tuck their heads when disturbed. I don't think I've ever gotten a decent shot of the eyes. Nice shot.
