I've shot this species before in our backyard, this time I was able to get much closer before it hopped off. This is a composite of two photos.

Possible id
Tony, I just got an id on a close looking flea beetle, Kuschelina scripticollis.

Nice!
Do you think your guy will ID the others? Or should I just move them there until we hear otherwise?

Not sure
Mike Quinn is getting my Chrysomelids identified in exchange for using some of my beetle pics on his Texas beetles website. So I'm not sure if any ids will go beyond what I have on bugguide. Even so, there's a lot of other contributors that have the same beetles unidentified as me.

I'll move mine
I'll go ahead and move my images under your ID. Superficially, they look the same. I say we keep them there until someone says otherwise...
