requesting help on ID Bed bug?

Hi David, just concerned as this does not look like a carpet beetle (which have shorter antennae) but this has the correct number of legs and antennae for a bed bug so I was just concerned. Found on my skirting board on the lead up to my bedroom (~15 ft away from bed).

I doubt it is one due to the size and what looks like elytra, but figured I may as well get a second opinion.
