Hi Victor
I think it's a Leptoglossus occidentalis

I'm not certain though

It most definitely is.
WE have the pests coming out of our eyeballs this time of year.
They squeeze in through the cracks around the doors and get in the house.
And worst of all, they're stink bugs!
Don't touch, or squish, they smell like.. stagnant rotting ajax orange soap. (Or what I might imagine it to smell like)

Thanks, Kin! And LadyA. Looks like a positive ID. I'll be careful not to squish!
