What else would it be Mike?
The pronotal and elytral pattern combo is pretty distinctive, especially the extent of the white. A dark suture is not uncommon in this species.

Moved
Moved from Ladybird Beetles. Confirmed by Rebecca Smyth of the Lost Ladybug project.

"The distinguishing character, though some of the spots on your C-9 are light, is the deep line down the center where the elytra meet."

more images?
any more images of this one, especially showing more of the head and pronotum? Some ladybirds can be very tricky from elytra pattern alone (at least for me).

Sadly no
Sadly I didn't get pictures of the head region and have found no other specimens subsequently.
