Rice weevil?
More likely to be rice weevil, a common pest of stored products like rice, corn, and bird seed. Not many bugs actually come up through pipes. They likely fell in and could not climb the smooth bathtub surface. They can infest products like Rid-X. Look for infested bird seed. Simply discard infested goods and wait a few weeks for beetles to die off.

Maybe something in...
...Underwater Weevils (Cyclominae) but please wait for an expert to weigh in on this. You may want to try to get a better picture in the mean time.
