looks like . . .
Bruchidius villosus (formerly: fasciatus), originating from Europe - but photo does not allow for REALLY safe identification.

Seed weevil.
Spectacular image of a bruchid of some kind. Tiny insect! Bruchids used to be in their own family (Bruchidae), but are now lumped with Chrysomelidae. Eighty percent of our North American species are associated with legumes.
