Probably . . .
. . . Tricorynus vestitus, at least the big one. Anobiids may strongly differ in body size within species, in consequence of quality and amount of larval diet.

 
Maybe not
Here are the species of this genus listed on the New Mexico Fish & Game Department. Vestitus is not among them:
Tricorynus ar*izonicus, c*onfusus, cono*philus, conso*brinus, estria*tus, gib*bulus, in*arqualis, long*ulus, mu*tans, nigri*pennis, pall*iatus, pi*nguis, punc*tulatus, tum*idus, unif*ormis, val*idus, and vent*ralis.

(I'll bet "inar*qualis" is a typo that should have been inae*qualis.)
