Moved tentatively

 
Possible
C. dentipes is the closest looking Bug Guide beetle to my eye on the
Coleo/Checklist
Genus CHRYSOBOTHRIS Eschscholtz
C. dentipes (Germar) - - NT BC AB SK MB ON PQ NB - - - -

 
looks like a very good call to my civilian eye
although i must admit it's certainly close to what was recently ID'd as Ch. trinervia from your pics:

this one is much duller, with no black callosities, but otherwise the gestalt is a good fit

 
All that colour and the size caught my attention.
I've compared the two for the first time, your "civilian" eye is better then mine.
Ch. trinervia best fit, but to close for me to call.
