Lovely gray Stink Bug (Pentatomidae) on Huckleberries

Here is a lovely gray Stink Bug in the family Pentatomidae of the Heteroptera, Hemiptera balanced (for the moment) on a couple of old berries of Wild Huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum, Ericaceae). It's a nice pose, but it didn't last! This true bug has five-segment antennae unlike the four-segment antennae of the true bug in my [Previous] photo, hence the family name Penta-tomidae. This one might be the Consperse Stink Bug (Euschistus conspersus). There's more info and photos at BugGuide. I believe I've found this same species at home, compare this photo.
