Stink bug.
Actually, shield bugs in the 'strictest' sense have that triangular segment (scutellum) between the wings greatly expanded. The scutellum is so large, in fact, as to conceal the wings almost entirely. Shield bugs are alternately placed in the family Scutellaridae (and treated that way in this guide) or lumped with the pentatomids. This is a stink bug, family Pentatomidae, and probably in the genus Euschistus, though it might help to know the approximate size.

Size
It was about 20mm, to the best of my memory, from "nose to tail."
