I think this may be A. suturalis. There are few hairs on the pronotum (and non on the distal corners) and the pygidium also looks not hairy enough for hirsutus to me. The coloration with the dark green "suture" along the margin of the elytra would match A. suturalis as well. I find these two species difficult, though.
