Found just inside my front door. Second photo (photo 1) taken after I took it back outside. Very round smooth body with no distinguishing marks.

If possible, a shot from underneath is always useful, especially if there seems to be a lack of ID features on from the top. Thanks!

Yep, that's ok. A technique you could do is to prompt it to climb onto a glass door or something see-through and take a photo from the other side too if you could.
