possibly Rhyzobius lophanthae
The overall gestalt is saying R. lophanthae to me - I can't quite make out the details but it certainly appears to have two lengths of setae (giving it that extra-"fuzzy" look, more so than scymnines), and a metallic greenish tint to the elytra. Do you have a photo that shows the eyes? Rhyzobius always has non-pubescent eyes, unlike Tribe Scymnini.
