Hi Alan, My first thought it that it looks a bit like the Museum Beetle (Anthrenus museorum) https://museumpests.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/museum-beetle-fact-sheet.pdf
Let’s see if anyone else has some ideas for you too! When varied carpet beetles get their hairs knocked off I have a much harder time, but others here usually can figure it out.

However, I have another issue. I've attached a couple of photos of a beetle I found in a trap. At first I thought I had a varied carpet beetle, but closer examination made me doubt that. It's about 3 mm in length. Anyone have an idea what it could be? The photos have different focal points to make identification a little easier.
