Beaten from a Yew Branch. Some are saying that it might be a Buprestid (Jewel) Beetle? Any coleopterists out there willing to give me a hand? ;)

Jewel Beetle??
Recording all species
Definitely does look good for a Jewel Beetle. Need Mark Telfer to cast his eye across it though....

Looks like subgenus (Anambus), such as but not necessarily Agrilus angustulus.
