I found this beetle in the high tide line. It was stuck on it's back so I rolled it over with a feather. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Wow, a beautiful 'Bup' indeed, one that I have not encountered yet! Well done for flipping it over! Kim Pullen has once again afforded his expertise and nailed the ID, well done everyone!)
PS enjoying the fact that Jewel Beetle season is over and getting on with some pretty important matters till the allure of spring strikes again!
