They look so similar, but are different. I think that the genus is right :) thank you so much @Neil Ross

This could possibly be Brachystethus rubromaculatus, but I'm not too sure. Scroll down to the very bottom of the first page of the link. This is the closest image I could find that resembles your spotting - http://gilwizen.com/invertebrates/ Nice looking shield bug too.
