Beetle - Lebia atriventris

Beetle - Lebia atriventris
Columbia, Boone County, Missouri, USA
May 14, 2013
Came to light last night. Would NOT sit still, hence I apologize for the lack of sharp, various views. Measured 7mm TL. Orange-red shoulders & head, black wings. Doesn't look like Bombadier, maybe some sort of Fire-colored Beetle (Pyrochroidae)? Or not?

Thanks for any IDeas!

Thanks V !
Think I should FRASS the 2nd & 3rd images? I can do that easy if you think that's a good idea.

(Some folks in this neighborhood are awfully serious about keeping things FRASSED.)

 
'Some folks...'
that would be me.
but not in this case, no.

Carabidae
Lebia sp.

 
Thanks Brad!
