mickey mouse lady bug

spotted an interesting ladybug I haven't seen before. Seen red, orange, yellow, 2 spot, 4 spot, more spots, but this one I haven't seen before. I am sure there is a proper name for it but I am calling it mickey mouse.

it is actually just a fairly unusual colour form of the common 2-spot ladybird.
