It's a true bug in the superfamily Pentatomoidea; most likely a stink bug in the family Pentatomidae, as I can see a faint outline of the base of its scutellum at the rear edge of its pronotum. Bugs in the closely related family Scutellaridae (shield/jewel bugs) have an enlarged scutellum that covers the entire abdomen. There does not appear to be any comprehensive publications on Colombian species of Pentatomoidea.
