Looks like ..
Cremastocheilus harrisii Kirby 1827 - often very common on sandy banks of rivers and creeks, the very shiny ventrum is unique.

Scarab
Looks like its subfamily Cetoniinae, genus Cremastocheilus. (Or something similar.)

Great find! This genus is associated with ants, and the adults aren't often seen.
