Could be Rhadine, but ..
on my screen the beetle shows up little more than a dark dorsal outline. Non-cavernous Rhadine is one of my research interests.

Mark, are you able to lighten up the photographic details and/or show taxonomically important close-ups like the dorsal pronotum and the ventral head. Be aware that I'm working on an undescribed "Rhadine nebraskana" with records from western Nebraska, not far from your site. The best action of course would for me to receive this specimen for study if you still have it. Thank you for your contribution.

I've added a lighter version and a close-up, not sure if they'll be helpful. It's the only image I got after releasing it outdoors, and then it scurried away quickly before I could get another shot!

"Rhadine"
is the best I can do with these images. Not enough here to fit specifically my perception of undescribed "R. nebraskana". There are at least four species known in Colorado. Thanks for trying.
