Pyrochroidae - Pedilus lewisii
NNW of Pagosa Springs, Hinsdale County, Colorado, USA
July 1, 2007
Size: ~1 CM (+/-)
This doesn't even look like the same insect to me in this shot, but all three shots were taken within about 45 seconds of each other, so I'm pretty sure it is the same one. Hopefully this one shows the elytral apices a little better.
