Birding for fun
Any suggestions for this small beetle. Just dropped on to my laptop in my shed/office. Is it just Phyllobious pomaceus that has lost its scales?

The head doesn't look the right shape for a Phyllobius. Some Sitona species look similar, but I'm no expert. Certainly not a vine weevil.

Sitona lineatus was another possibility as shown here.
