Carabidae: Agonum cupripenne
The darker area on top is usually more of a metallic reddish (probably lost or muted for some photographic reason).

It was really metallic reddish
The flash can affect that. If I take the picture without the flash, the shine would be there, but the picture wouldn't be sharp.
