Hi Sam
Try reading comments here to distinguish between Nezara vs. Acrosternum. I haven't tried to figure out which yours is.

Well, here is what I can see.

This one does not have the black spots.
The connexivia does have dark dots.
The fourth antennal segment is dark, not tinged with red.

Based on these I still believe it to be Acrosternum hilare. But I still would like confirmation.
