Saw this beetle in Shasta co. in the Klamath mountains. Any idea what it can be? Suggestions on family/genera or species is much appreciated.

Thanks

Not much visible yet I think it's a Dichelonyx sp. (Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae, Dichelonychini)
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.
