Pentatomidae, Stink Bug. Most probably Pentatominae and might be Pentatomini? The picture is not that sharp and close to see all the important details. I might see some tiny red shoulder which indicates it might be Thyanta custator, but without more pictures it is tricky to get a safe ID.

Personally (that does not mean much) I do not think it is a Nezarini, for example Chinavia hilaris, the shape is similar but slightly different.

Do you have other pictures of it?
