Podabrus diadema (Fabricius)
Yes, Georges is correct. Examining the the high-res version of the photograph, it's clear that the hind angles of the pronotum are not dentate, thus ruling out P. rugosulus LeConte.

Podabrus planulus Green
I previously suggested that this was Podabrus planulus Green. This was incorrect. This is clearly Podabrus rugosulus LeConte. The ridges on the elytra, characteristic of P. rugulosus and absent in P. planulus and the strongly apically narrowed pronotum, again characteristic of P. rugulosus, clearly indicate the identity of this species as P. rugulosus. I apologize for my previous confusion. :~>
