Dermestes? - Dermestes frischi
New Chicago Marsh, Santa Clara County, California, USA

Size: ~ 5-10 mm
Found quite a few of these beetles beneath a bird carcass near a salt marsh. I have a couple of other images to add, if they would help, although the angle isn't too different...

venter all-important in Dermestes, esp. the last sternite

Oh -
well, I couldn't collect at this location and don't have any photos that would show the venter. :( Is it safe to move to genus?
