Nicrophorus orbicollis

Nicrophorus orbicollis
Marlton, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
May 9, 2009
Size: Maybe around 30 mm?
Came to the light at night. I figured something this well marked would be easy, not so sure now that I tried it. Markings seem like carolinus but pronotum shape seems wrong, so I went to the next closest defodiens?. Am I close? Gender?
