I found this coccinelid in may sitting on a Crataegus monogyna leaf. Anyone can help me with an ID ?

it has seven spots, so I belive you can't miss:
Coccinella septempunctata.

No. not a Coccinella. rather a Hippodamia sp.

I am 100% sure that this coccinelid is not a C. septempunctata (see the model of the pronotum and the spot between elytra).

Xespok, I think it can not be Hippodamia sp., because Hippodamia have the body more narrow....
