Yes, Bruchinae
Try Bruchidius villosus. Found in Scot's broom, of which there is plenty in that area.

Kingsolver 2004
I can't see all the definitive characters in the photographs so make sure the specimen keys out in Kingsolver (2004) (1). If you don't have it you can download it for free. It's still the authority on the group. Also, this is a group that I can provide photo vouchers for if you like. Email me if you prefer to do that for this specimen or others.

Super . . . I downloaded the Bruchinae key set and will work on confirmation over the Thanksgiving holiday. Many thanks!
