I'm no expert here, but what about Dermestes undulatus? The specimen seems to have golden wavy hairs and red-brown antennae, which are right for that species.

Thanks Andrewsfi!
But I see it slighthly different to undulatus... is darker and don't have the red hairs in the pronotum Frown
But is the most similar that I have found...
