Hi Pietro
Palp colour is useful, but difficult in photos. The palp may not be yellow, but brown and still be OK for L. sericata. The key characters here are: heavily dusted with a clear division on the median line of the abdomen (L. richardsii is very shiny and lightly dusted); very wide frontalia (L. richardsii narrower, especially the orbitals).
