New Black Beetle - _TNY_2629
Sometimes photos get stuck on the harddrive due to lack of a proper ID. This one is one of those, but when I finally made an effort to figure out what it was yesterday - I got immediate help and learned it was a species named for its larvae - say hello to the western grape rootworm (Bromius obscurus).
There are at least three distinct colour forms of this one with elytra and tibia in brown plus this one which is the typical one in all black.
