I think this is a female Wedge-shaped Beetle (Macrosiagon limbata).

Reference http://bugguide.net/node/view/14186/bgpage

Would you all agree?

Yes Linda, I agree it is the Wedge-shaped Beetle (Macrosiagon limbata).
You would not have been able to add it to BugFiles as there was no member of its family the Ripiphoridae there previously.
I have now created an entry for Macrosiagon limbata here: http://davesgarden.com/bf/go/4713/
so please add your images to it, and I will select one of your images to illustrate the family,

Kennedy
