Thanks Nance..!!
Really telling I searched with just "Yellow snout beetle"
Your picture is crystal clear, so able to find... :)
I love its shoes... very much spectacular it is..!!
You are my hero (again), Ashish. I looked and looked and never found that. But that is our beetle.
I hope you take a look here...!!

I looked, Ashish. But if you look at the last photo it doesn't have a snout; it seems its neck is a bit longer than usual. I also checked thelong-necked beetles but didn't come up with anything there either.
Weevil...?
Or Snout beetle.
