Onthophagus hecate minor male
I did check this photo against some specimens today, and it fits very well in terms of punctation, setation, size, etc.

Very well.
It's great to have a series to check against, and I guess we're doing that here photographically with your help, Don.

Tom, something makes me think it's not hecate.
I'll be curious if Phillip has an opinion.

I still got it
In case there's some question, the beetle is still in my fridge.
