Ground Beetle? - Nebria brevicollis

Ground Beetle? - Nebria brevicollis
Salem, Marion County, Oregon, USA
April 8, 2016
Size: 1cm
This little beetle was found along with several others under the mulch and around the roots of a Hellebore. They crawled around pretty fast. Is it a species of ground beetle? And is it a predator?

Looks like a Nebria
Might be a teneral (young) Nebria brevicollis, an invasive european species.
Nebria are predators, yes.
