Shining flower beetle?

Shining flower beetle?
Fredericton, York County, New Brunswick, Canada
April 25, 2016
Size: 2.5 mm
Drove through a wooded area and the truck hood had about 20-30 of these guys on it.
This was the most intact specimen I found. No antennae, only 2 legs.

Feel free to FRASS if IDed but not needed for the guide.
