Dung Beetle ??? - Aphodius fimetarius

Dung Beetle ??? - Aphodius fimetarius
Williamsburg, Whitley County, Kentucky, USA
Size: 8 mm
I found this beetle and many more in cow manure. I thought originally it was a dung beetle given its location and pronotum shape, but I am having trouble keying it out. Any help would be great.
