After a bit more study and experience....Of course it is a Saropogon species, but not leucocephalus. That wouldn't have any dusting on pleurae. This one has quite some. White dusting on the edge of the anepisternum and more dusting on pleurae forming a band. Regarding white hair on coxa this should/could be S. cf aberrans.
