Podisus, prob. serieventris -- det. D.B. Thomas
Moved from Podisus.

definitely a Podisus, maybe serieventris -- will revisit
ventral shot would dispel doubts

Moved from ID Request.

Darn.

rule of thumb:
to be on the safe side, always try to get a ventral of duller-looking stinkers (well, that's a loose definition), esp. Podisus and Euschistus.
ventrals not needed in Brochymena (head is critical instead)... and i personally would prefer not to see another photo of BMSB in my life :)))

Yup
Not sure on the species, but the dulled spines suggest that it's probably not P. maculiventris.

BMSB?
I would have said Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, though I'm not sure they've made it to RI yet. Are the antennae not striped enough?
Halyomorpha halys http://bugguide.net/node/view/9806

Usually
You can tell Podisus fairly easily. The wings meet together to make that black line in the back. That's one of the easier ways to tell the difference.
