Is this Lady Beetle in the genus Hyperaspis? Thanks for further ID.

Moved from Brachiacantha.

looks very much like Hyperaspis to me
could you trim & enlarge the pic?

 
close,
this is Brachiacantha, and part of the ursina complex. Based on the reduced spot size it might even be B. decempustulata, a species not currently in BugGuide. But based on just these images and this being a female, which are more difficult, I can't recommend placement to species page.
