I disagree.
The third antennal segment is too elongated for fulvus and the hairs on thorax are silvery, not golden ( compare a fulvus from the gallery !). The colouration of femora is disturbingly in between fulvus and rusticus.

To me, a female rusticus.

Thank you. I think the light made the thoracic hair look more golden than there were.
