C. borealis
This looks like Cyclocephala borealis - they are sometimes quite dark, not the normal 'yellowish' color. As you can see - quite hairy ventrally, and still has the pronotum lighter laterally with faint darker spots.

Thanks!
I'll let it here and you can create a guide page if you want. I would rather have you create the page, since you have information on them.
