Save screenshot using FBO but background always transparent?

Hi, I am trying to save a screenshot to disk using an FBO but the background is always transparent. I’m sure I’m missing something simple.

Here is the code. (Note that I want to save screenshot at higher resolution than the screen, so grabScreen / ofSaveScreen won’t work for me- at least i don’t think so!)

void ofApp::setup(){
    gui.setup();
    screenshotFbo.allocate(3840, 2160);
}

void ofApp::draw(){
    if ( isCurrentlySavingScreenshot ) {
        screenshotFbo.begin();
        ofClear(255, 255, 255, 0);
    }

    ofDrawCircle(ofGetWidth() / 2, ofGetHeight() / 2, seqRadius);

    if ( isCurrentlySavingScreenshot ) {

        // capture 4K screenshot!
        ofPixels pixels;
        screenshotFbo.readToPixels(pixels);
        ofImage img;
        img.setFromPixels(pixels);

        ofSaveImage(img, "screenshot " + ofGetTimestampString() + ".png");
        isCurrentlySavingScreenshot = false;
        screenshotFbo.end();

        screenshotFbo.draw(0, 0);
    }
    gui.draw();
}

void ofApp::keyPressed(int key){
    if ( key == 'x' ) {
        // screenshot!
        isCurrentlySavingScreenshot = true;
    }
}
