ID
Anthonomus elongatus LeConte. Color is variable and lighting can change it. I have found a pale blue background preferable for good photos when doing these for taxonomic papers.

true colors
note: the true colors of this weevil show best in the images with the bluish background. (I currently am using Playdough to hold unmounted beetles in position for imaging, but I can't seem to find the right color (and I really like green backgrounds) that doesn't skew the camera's color balance. The blue background is a Formica sample from Lowes)

must be A. elongatus LeC.
Charlie will set me straight

Moved from Snout and Bark Beetles.

my best guess is...
an Anthonomus sp. of some kind (or closely-related genus).
