is this similar?
I searched and searched and decided to ID this beetle as Amara sp., can't ID it to species level because they all look the same in my eyes :) Thank you very much for help....
Yes, you're right, it's not Calathus sp., Amara sp. looks better suggestion...
Hmm, proportions do ot match in my eyes, body too long for Calathus erratus. But I may be wrong. Amara sp.?

Thank you, I will! Can it be Calathus erratus?
Carabidae. Harpalus sp. as closest guess... Please, check yourself!
