Reverse image search says Russian Leather Beetle but I live in Western Pennsylvania of the USA which it says they aren’t native to. Any ideas?

It wasn’t shiny like that article claims it to be, though that may be because it climbed out of a sink drain. Who knows what was on it. However it does look very close.
This made me look up osmoderma in Pennsylvania which linked me this:

This looks exactly like it, and is what you linked. So I think your spot on since it doesn’t seem to need to be iridescent. Thanks for answering! (Sorry for the late reply. I stepped out for a bit like 20 minutes after I posted this)
Awesome! I’m pretty impressed he fought his way up through the drain. I wonder how he got past the p-trap.
