Thanks Don
The yellow legs and a few other features must make this one distinct enough for you recognize. I don't know how you do it with all these rove beetles, but I'm glad you're around identifying them!
I'll put it aside for you.

Omaliinae: Lesteva pallipes
Common during the summer, but we do have a few specimens taken during the cold months. None from MA, so your specimen will make a nice state voucher.

Looks
like Lestev*a pal*lipes, but must check. I don't think of it as a winter species, so I could be wrong. Save for me please.
