Size: about 1 cm
I'm trying to name this beetle for my photo reference. I tried looking through the photos here but didn't seem to find what I was looking for. Perhaps I did not look enough!

Thanks for the help.

Another possibility
Calligrapha bidenticola Brown is also very similar.

Check out
Zygogramma suturalis - Ragweed Leaf Beetle in the guide here. Unfortunately there are apparently several beetles that look very similar, but at least this will get you close.
