Not 100% sure this is a curculionid, it doesn't really have a "snout".

probably a female Allandrus populi Pierce
Barry Valentine det. His comment: "Males have much longer antennae. I say probably because there are undescribed species out west which look very similar (and which I have not been able to work out). Larvae mine under the very thin outermost bark of aspen, feeding on isolated small lumps of a black, hard, pyrenomycete fungus. They leave a trail from lump to lump but there is no external sign of their presence. The more common eastern A. bifasciatus LeC. does the same in the bark of Tilia. It has longer antennae, in some males, longer than the body."

opinion of Robert Anderson:
"I can't tell genus from the photo, maybe Allandrus populi?"
