Yes, I will try and get one if I see it again. It doesn’t seem to match either P. oceania or a transverse ladybird perfectly.

I think you are correct. The P. oceania has a very distinctive three spots across the back of its head, but I'll leave it for someone more expert than myself. Multiple photos from different angles are very helpful, but I'm still mastering this myself, so don't feel too bad.
