Ophryastes perhaps?
I wonder if this is not a specimen of the genus Ophryastes. They can be large. This one may have rubbed off most of its pale scales, too, so keep that in mind when comparing to other images of less aged individuals.

They sure are an interesting creature! A guy could almost take up "Weevil Watching" !!
