No it's easy for you, Bill ;-))...
Same one as previous, ID based on the same wrong ID on Wiki...

Megasoma elephas has a velvety tan (suede) texture to the wing covers while Dyanstes hercules has a heavily punctated anterior with a slick green to orangish-tan posterior usually marked with tiny specks of black.
