I'm not sure of the type of beetle this is. Can't see spots from this angle, but doesn't look like a 6-spotted tiger beetle. Hoping someone with experience can help me ID. It was flying around in a grassy field with very few nearby trees.

After a quite successful night hike (38 folks showed up!), I left the moth trap up for a bit to see what showed up. This last beetle was eating some of the dead bugs on the ground... Delicious. :)
