Darkling Beetle? - Amphasia interstitialis

Darkling Beetle? - Amphasia interstitialis
Barkhamsted, Litchfield County, Connecticut, USA
Can't find this anywhere. Would it be proper to just call it a Darkling Beetle species? Do not remember size, maybe half inch to 3/4.

I hope this helps!

Ground Beetle
