We found a couple of these on our hike. We're thinking maybe Glipa oculata. We have a more dorsal view of the second individual here

looks like it
this one certainly looks like G. oculata, and the other one is probably also. Photos of the type of G. oculata (Say, 1935)(at that time in genus Mordella) can be found from the MCZ here. Looks like the yellow color faids over time. But that's why there's BugGuide :)
