Size: 6mm
At first I thought this was a snout beetle, from the size, coloration and overall shape, but it's not. Any ideas what it might be?

Fungus weevil!
This is a neat insect in the family Anthribidae. I think it used to be in the genus Eurymycter, but the names have changed and I am no longer certain of that. It is so distinctive, we should collectively have no problem getting this to species.

Distinctive markings
Looks like it got it's nose and tail end dipped in white paint.
