Certainly Gymnosoma ... possibly rotundatum ... but that's just a guess :)

There is too much yellow dusting on the scutellum for rotundatum.
So this is either dolycoridis or clavatum, a male. I favour the first option.
I said it before and will say it again: Gymnosoma are very difficult to ID, let only from picture, no matter how nice they look !
