Brown insect on bed - ID please!

Hi there,

 

I found this dark brown insect, 5mm long, dead on top of my bed cover - my first concern was that it could be a bed bug, due to the location, however from comparing photos it doesn’t have obvious horizontal stripes on its back, instead it looks more like it has several vertical stripes or ridges, (though on the underside there are three horizontal lines towards the tail end). I’m wondering if it’s a type of beetle - my windows have been open so could have flown in. Thanks so much for your help, much appreciated!
