Eleodes...
looks good, but at this angle, cannot rule-out one of the Coelometopinae. Do you have any dorsal shots? Thanks!

Coelocnemis punctata ?
Coelocnemis sure looks the same in overall appearance. Not a lot of reference pics out there, but I did see this one listed on that Colorado inventory.

BG best place for ?
These pics sat for a long time in Family Tenebrionidae. Do you have any suggestions on a best place for more review? Appreciate your help on this. Feel like you've definitely gotten it further ID-wise.
