Coffee-and-white dermestid - Anthrenus coloratus

Came to UV light. Shape and pattern don't seem to fit with the ones I usually see or have found in Bugguide.

Moved
Moved from Carpet Beetles, based on the shape/pattern/color being a such a good match for coloratus. That may or may not be enough to go on, I don't know.

Thanks
That's a pretty cool site. I went through all the Anthrenus and couldn't find a match, so maybe I'll just move it to genus level.
