My guess is Calathus sp.
. . . if you still have it, you may check the claws; they have several fine points on their interiour edge in Calathus.
Amara spp. are, in case they have yellow legs, more convex dorsally.

cheers, Boris

Pseudamara ?
In this case, I think it would be Pseudamara sp.. At least P. arenaria has yellow legs and little convexity as the picture.

Thanks for the responses.

I've added the best shot I have of the claws.

insufficient
Dear Perry,

microscopic view would be needed. Please compare a pic of claws already posted to bugguide (search for Calathus), and decide yourself, if a decision can be made . . .

I replaced the previous image
I replaced the previous image. I don't see the points inside the claw.

Thanks again

O.k. - no points
so we may fix it down : NOT Calathus!

Amara sp.
It look like an Amara sp. but I can't say the species.
