black tarsi, tibia brown, and femur with a mix of brown/black. We can see a black line very softly on the femur but not in the full length. Given this can we say that this is the B. undatus?
NO, but you can say in keys to

undatus shares with male
cruciatus the pale median line and wing pattern only.
