Not enough detail to take it any further. Those pallid colours often indicate a Gyroporus, which would usually become distinctly blue when damaged

Interesting - thank you. What other photos would have been helpful in IDing this Boletus?

Image of the pores may give better idea of their colour. With this genus I would normally cut in half to check for blueing and if that occurred what parts of the fungus colured. You can sometimes get an idea by just pressing on the pores or scratching across them or the cap surface. If no blueing most probably not a Gyroporus.....!
