Graphops pubescens
Graphops pubescens; hairy as it is and the Elytra are considerably more than twice as long as prothorax
can´t really see the supraorbital ocular sulci in this picture though

Chrysomelidae?
My first guess would be a leaf beetle of some sort. Can't really give a reason why, either! Reminds me of a very drab and hairy version of the dogbane leaf beetle.

Marsh Beetle?
Maybe a helodid (also known as Scirtidae)? They are hairy and resemble chrysomelids, and it appears this specimen was in the right sort of habitat. The tarsal arrangement is different, if you could get a clearer scan of the feet that might help.
