Emerald dung beetle (tiny)

[nilzsz]

Hi, i'm looking for the name of this specific species of dung beetle.
This was found in Central Texas, United States of America.

I did try to look it up, but the sites I was using didn't have this guy in the texas region from what i could tell.

For scale this guy was the size of a tic tac or three. Miniature compared to some of the black dung beetles i have found in the area.
