Do you have any other images of this critter? I cannot tell which end is the head end...

No, sorry. I see exactly what you mean!

It's possible that it is Attagenus trifasciatus in the family Dermestidae. Although dermestid larvae can be serious pests, the adult beetles are harmless pollen feeders. See https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7113/7142530683_033c11953b_o.jpg for an image.
