Martin, my first guess was that this was a weevil. The problem is, in all the 50 or so weevils I photographed till now, the antennae's base in the side of the "nose", and in this one it seems to be in the front. I'll keep an eye on it, and try to get more info about it. Thanks for the tip.

This looks like a weevil to me.
Weevils have elbowed antennae which is hard to determine from your photos
and the thickened tips is not seen in chrysomelidae.
