I'm having some trouble finding this beetle on bugguide. Can anyone narrow it down?

Specimen deposited in MFD private collection.

yes, C. lepida
One of the relatively few native North American spp. in subfamily Coccidulinae. This is the first example of this particular color form on BugGuide.

Moved tentatively; nice LB
