I think this looks more like L. guichenoti?

I agree John - with a sharper photograph the spots on the back may have been clearer. The copper colour on head and neck contrasting with grey back is very like guichenoti (delicata does not have a grey back). However this individual lacks a dark mid - vertebral stripe (apparently individuals without the dark mid-vertebral stripe turn up from time to time). All considered I agree it is a guichenoti. Will.

I always look for the blue flecking on the back which this seems to have. GR agree.
