Wolf Spider: Trochosa ruricola? - Trochosa - female

Wolf Spider: Trochosa ruricola? - Trochosa - Female
Ghent, Columbia County, New York, USA
June 22, 2017
Wolf spider caught in a pit trap. There is some sand on the carapace so I'm having a hard time seeing whether or not it has the characteristic Trochosa pattern. I think it may be Trochosa ruricola because of the shape of the epigyne and because it looks similar to a lot of males that I identified as T. ruricola (all had carapace pattern, spike at the tip of the palps, etc). So far have not found any T. terricola.
