Red Beetle - Cycloneda sanguinea

Red Beetle - Cycloneda sanguinea
Whitlock Wash (between Tom Rhodes Ranch Road and YLE Road), E of San Manuel, Pinal County, Arizona, USA
November 18, 2012
Small red beetle looks like a Lady Beetle, I believe it was on a Burrobrush (not sure), there were other adult Convergent Lady Beetle (Hippodamia convergens) and nymphs consistent with that in the same bush; but this has different white marking than other lady beetles I've been able to find. In a river wash, Sonoran Desert area. Thanks for your help.
