Might also be L. brevirostris: proboscis brown (yellow in signatus), central spot on femora only slightly visible (in signatus large spots on femora are clearly dark)

This look like a female signatus to me: colour characteristics and and patterns are quite variable in this genus, but the lack of a visible theca in side view is much more typical of signatus (theca very narrow, crescentric and tends to lie tucked up under abdomen) than any of the other European spp.
