Melyridae
Tricho*chrous comes to mind, but my memory could be faulty in this regard.

That's a large genus in the subfamily Dasytinae.
There are 83 species on the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural history site and those might be just the ones from California.

Or Mely*rid
Somewhat scaly, reflective adpressed hairs is something I have not seen yet in Clerids.

That would fit with being in a blossum.
I'm curious to find out.

Looks like a cler*id to me.
That's a typical posture for them. It's either attacking another beetle or, more likely, mating with a female of its own kind, which you can see beneath it.
