What kind of Scarab Beetle?  - Spilodiscus instratus

What kind of Scarab Beetle? - Spilodiscus instratus
2 km SE of Fairy Hill marsh, Saskatchewan, Canada
April 27, 2021
Size: 1/3" or so
Found within about 20' from the other scarab beetle that I have in ID request that I've asked if it's a Aphodius fimetarius, not sure if that matters or they're related, but I've never seen either of these beetles before in Southern Saskatchewan. Native prairie used for pasture land for cows, a lot of cow pies around. EDIT: THANKS John Rosenfeld! This would be a first for Sask that I've seen, (a first for Bugguide too for SK?!) John Rosenfeld: As you've got it as "something like this", (suggested)the ID, and because if that's what it is, it's a first for Saskatchewan... then I'd like to put it in at the Histerini level... however I'll leave it in ID request until someone gives a firm ID. EDIT again: THANK YOU! V Belov for the further ID / Move.
