suggest H. caseyi
Likely to be Hippodamia caseyi Johnson. I note the pale pronotal boarder is interrupted by a latteral extension of the black disk. There's a risk that this could rather be H. glacialis lecontei (too far south for H. moesta bowditchi), but unless anyone objects, I'd say move it under H. caseyi.

That's interesting...
I submitted a yellow ladybug last year I found at Brighton, Utah that turned out to be Hippodamia caseyi. They seem to have a lot of variation in coloring and pattern. It sure makes it hard to ID them. Thanks for finding the right place for it.
