Chrysomelid beetle? - Cryptocephalus

Chrysomelid beetle? - Cryptocephalus
Carver, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, USA
October 13, 2016
This sort of seems like a Colaspis sp. but then it also doesn't quite match, I looked through many photos and the punctations seem off. Can anyone confirm? Netted in mowed pine barrens (scrub oak, Baptisia, asters, goldenrod, etc.).

Moved, Cryptocephalus sp.
Funny, when I first saw the thumbnail I also thought Colaspis but then when I saw the actual image I ruled that out.

Moved from ID Request.

Frustrating
I looked through Cryptocephalus twice but they seemed too colorful and too boxy. The punctations seem right though.
