Yup, duodecimguttata. Good call.
That's a duo alright. Just a weakly-marked individual. Nice. - Dan

Thanks Dan
for the ID on this faded one, and moving the image.

Punctulata?
The flash makes it a little unclear, but I think I see the irregular row of greenish pits along the inner edge of the elytra that gives this species its name.

A little early maybe
for punctulata. That's a summer time species that I wouldn't expect for another month.
