Green stink bug
This does appear to be Acrosternum hilare. Interestingly, you can tell more from this view. Acrosternum has a short spine on the underside of the abdomen that projects forward between the hind coxae (basal segment of the legs). New World Acrosternum will soon be assigned a different genus name I am told.
