picture of tiny bug, asking for identification

does anyone know what this bug is? I am currently in vienna and it was crawling on my leg

it tried to fly a few times but couldn’t and had amber colored wings under the shell, also the body under the shell was black I think

it’s kinda fat and looks like a beetle?

it’s tiny and smaller than a grain of rice

@Clover looks less elongated than those from what i can tell, but i can't find anything tbh. Tried some websites too, either describing it or uploading the pic and they're not coming up with anything useful either

@snacks the antennas seem too short for that

@Clover if the head and rear section's colors where reversed i'd say it's an australian ladybug but alas

@Clover there's a lot of barely researched tiny ladybugs but none of them where sighted anywhere close to europe
