Tenebrionidae: Alleculinae: Isomira sp.
It is most likely Isomira quadristriata, by far our most common darker brown Isomira, but really the back half of the elytra need to be clearly seen to be sure.

Another angle
Donald, does this other picture give a good enough look at the back of the elytra to make the ID ?

Yup
but Alleculines aren't all that easy to spot-ID to genus
