Hippodamia species (sinuata spuria?)

Hippodamia species (sinuata spuria?)
Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, USA
April 28, 2019
Size: 5–7 mm
Apologies for the poor image quality (it seemed like it might be worth submitting since Oregon is so sparse on records). While weeding yesterday, a lady beetle I didn't recognize wandered by, so I tried to get a picture using my phone before it got away (easier said than done!). It looks like it's probably in the genus Hippodamia, but I wasn't sure about the species (maybe sinuata?) Notable features:
  • About the same size as Hippodamia convergens
  • Abdomen main color was a very pale yellow-orange
  • Observed on bluebells
  • Two faint converging lines on pronotum, barely visible in the photograph
Thanks!

Frassed, genus is sound; prob no further potential here
Moved from Beetles.
