Elaphidion mucronatum
Yes, now that you point that out I believe it is Elaphidion mucronatum. I am new at insect ID and find this guide an amazing wealth of information but a little overwhelming. Thanks, I hope the photo helps.

Antonio nailed it: E. mucronatum
except for a few distinctive spp., this tribe is an especially tough part of the family, and can make an experienced coleopterist feel overwhelmed.
nice shot --keep them coming, Errol
(just keep in mind that size data only help if measured in mm, otherwise leave the size field blank: estimates are useless for identification purposes)
