Could use some second opinions

A visitor brought this guy to my attention, and I don't know if it's just because it's an internal mold or if it's actually something different. But I figured I would put it out to the room. My gut tells me it's just a Bellacartwrightia whitely that's been flaked off and is therefore missing any type of pygidial spines, but the body is awfully round. My opinion is based off of the visible casts of the glabellar furrows and genal spines, but rather than Greenops, I went Bellacartwrightia based on the rounded shape of the pygidium rather than triangular. These pictures are all I have to go on as the specimen I believe is now somewhere in Georgia.
