Moved
I didn't realize how many species of Bembidion look so much alike. B. carinula is listed in the UNH data base, so it does occur here.
Thanks Boris!

Have keyed it
using this reference and can tell, that it is not punctatostriatus. Not sure, which species, though (B.carinula seems most likely).

Looks like a match
The punctures in the pronotum and the green marks on the elytra are right on. Thanks Phillip!

possibly B. punctatostriatum
The flat lighting is deceptive, but possibly punctatostriatum

Carabidae: Bembidion sp.
Several species of Bembidion are quite flighty.
