Beetle - Podabrus rugosulus
Harvard, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA

Size: 6mm
Don't think this is a Cantharid, because the elytra cover the end of the abdomen, in a nice round fashion. Just don't know what else it might be.

It does look like Podabrus rugosulus, with some small variation.
Thanks Stephen.
