Looks very simular to the image on ALA

The hair on the scutum (top of the thorax) is always pale in L. amabilis - orange or pale brown. My best guess is that this is L. plumosus, but I can't be sure as other species may look like this. As a general rule I would be cautious about images in ALA as they are sledom curated.
