Maybe you could figure out the species or if it is just a color morph. However, here in Costa, the brown ladybugs are more prevalent than the red ones....or at least the last few months

I live in north central arizona in high desert in between phoenix and flagstaff. My wife just brought one of those brown ladybugs inside and we have seen a few others as well.
