Looks like a Meloid beetle,
of the genus Nemognatha ; note the long proboscis.

Unlinking
these images defeats the purpose of this series:
'Are these all the same - slight difference in color'
Note comments on linked image that might have
saved some time here had these images remained linked.
Sometimes there are exceptions to the rule.
