weevil - Dyslobus decoratus

weevil - Dyslobus decoratus
New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada
February 18, 2009
Size: 7-8 mm long
Found on porch step shortly past sunrise; temp close to freezing point. Weevil was on its back and I thought it was dead, but when I touched it, its legs grabbed me. It revived fully after I brought it indoors.

I haven't been able to find a comfortable match. It may be somewhere in Entiminae (Otiorhynchus?), or Cyclominae, or maybe Molytinae. A fresh eye would be appreciated.
