This beetle was found in plantings around a gas station in Ohio. It looks as though it might be a type of June beetle, but the markings and coloration are different. The undersides of the beetle, even the legs, are completely iridescent. Can someone correctly identify it?

That's it! The one I found is a much duller brown, but retains some of the green on top. Thanks for the ID.
