To all.....
Thanks for helping with the ID.

By my opinion
Sharon´s suggestion is reasonable.

A suggestion...

Sure looks like a stink bug
Yup, that's a stink bug (family Pentatomidae). There are a few genera that look like this, though, including Menecles, Holcostethus, and Euschistus. Euschistus is the most likely of those, but I don't know how to differentiate them reliably.

Very well....
Thanks, Patrick. I saw many variations in the guide, so narrowing it down may be impossible.
Regards,
Bob
