Rounded pronotum and coloration suggests Agonoleptus
at or near A. conjunctus, a widespread species which extends into the southwest. Uncharacteristic lighter shading of head and elytra further suggests a teneral state which does not quite approach the completely pale coloration of teneral A. conjunctus posted here and here. I have not seen other western members of the A. conjunctus species group so I'm open to other ideas. The main body parts do appear to me broader and rounder than I would like for A. conjunctus-- so it could be something entirely else!
