My unidentified critter turned out to be a green dung beetle. 8mm long x 6mm wide.
This is a 42 image stack in Zerene DMap and retouched with parts of Pmax.
Canon 30D, 100mm f2.8 macro lens on bellows (fully extended).

Dung! Uh... Done!
For later readers... This beetle is previously shown HERE. In the other images you can see the large spatulate front legs that are often found in digging critters such as this dung beetle.
