Storrie Lake S. P. at light setup. I did a quick check on BG in AZ, CO, TX and OK, I did not see anything quite like this one, but I may have missed one or this might be a variation of one. Any further Id/placement is very much appreciated. Thank You.

Anthicus ephippium
yes. Most of the all-tan anthicids have a banded form, or vice versa, or some with posterior light spots in a dark apical band may have an all tan form (ex. A. cervinus). With transitions between. One reason why Casey described so many species in the Anthicidae that are now synonyms.
