I think this one is another Harmonia axyridis, Harlequin ladybird. It is much larger than the Pine Ladybird, which has a pronounced rim around the base of it's wing cases, is very domed in shape, and quite 'round'.

Check out the comparison at the bottom of this page, the pic on the right of the two black forms.

This is my Pine Ladybird, I only saw it because I was looking at a small spider hiding between leaves. That was near the Leylandii hedge
