Hard to see
but it doesn't look like it has any special modification on median segment. Therefore, this is likely P. desertae

Thank you!
Thank you so much for your help and sorry the focus is not better!
What sort of modification are you looking for? Some sort of stiff hairs in the center? I just looked at photos of P. fulvescens and that was the only potentially unique feature that I could make out but I don't know what I'm looking for.
