Photo of CLOSED: strange ladybird..

At first sight I thought it was looking a little like the Thea 22-punctata , but it's just a little bigger and the colour and spots don't really match. The colour on the photo is like I saw it; the thorax and head being cream-white-yellowish with black dots and the abdomen being peach-coloured with black dots. The surface it was on is not very informative as it was a plastic, bit dirty public trash bin. I found it on the countryside some days ago..
I know that the Harlequin ladybird (Harmonia axyridis) can be highly variable, so could this be one its outfits?
