Sorry, but we could do with better pictures

It is either venosus or reticulatus and from what I an see from the front tibia .... likely venosus.
Which is pretty rare.

I'd vote for
B. reticulatus:
Hind tibiae and tarsi of
B. venosus are not thickened. See:

Yeap, that is pretty different. Well spotted.
Extremely early for reticulatus (but would be as well for venosus).

In America the scarab beetles of spring bring parasitic Tachinidae attracted to light.
