I'm looking for an ID for the Buprestid on the left. As a comparison the pair on the right appear to be Acmaeodera ornatoides.

Identification
Acmaeodera neglecta is a good bet, but so too would be A. neoneglecta and, possibly, A. tubulus. We do not know the limits of their ranges and how much they may overlap. The bottom line here is that the image is too small to render an identification; however, that may be moot.
