Not Podi*sus
my guess would be Thyanta sp..
Many show the pale, somewhat granular spotting of the elytra, and dark mottling of the wing membrane.

Yes
Yes, family Pentatomidae (Stink Bugs), probably Podisus maculiventris (Spined Soldier Bug).

Color
Buggz-

Good question. Among the possibilities (listed in order of their declining likelihood) would be: your specimen is a teneral which had not yet achieved its ultimate coloration; the coloration is a result of local variation; the coloration is due to it being a closely related species, but not the one specified.
