Name those raspberry-loving beetles!

My raspberries (PNW) have been taken over by some beetles (picture links below). They don't look like Japanese beetles; no iridescent abdomen, no green thorax. BugFinder had no luck. What might they be?

Third or fourth instar nymph of a Green vegetable bug? (Scroll down for pix.) Also called stink bugs.

I think you might have some kind of baby shield bug or stink bug there. I can't find an exact match, but the markings on this baby green shield bug, for instance, don't look too far off.
