Spwbug under bark on ground - Armadillidium vulgare

Spwbug under bark on ground - Armadillidium vulgare
6 miles NW Lyons, Boulder County, Colorado, USA
April 5, 2013
Size: BL ~ 9 mm
This sowbug was seen under a pile of bark on the ground in the CO foothills at ~6400' elevation. It differs from the recently submitted sowbug #1184974 by being smoother in texture and broader throughout. Also some of the wrap-around plates are more pointed on the edges. Any help with its ID is much appreciated.
