Proper Mottled - _TNY_8412

Here is a nice, but small (5.5 mm / .2") beetle called Bembidion litorale which I found on a sand bank in the Mjällån river running through the Mjällådalen nature reserve near Härnösand, Sweden.

It doesn't have a common English name but the Swedish name confused me a bit when I found it the first time the year before this. It's called "brokig spegellöpare" where "spegel" means mirror and is referencing the foure shiny squares on it's back which makes sense, but "brokig" means mottled and when you see the others I found (like here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53194027546/) it doesn't look very "mottled".

This one however had a decidedly more mottled look, right?
