Is this Laphria? - Laphria thoracica

This is a pretty big ugly bug. Is it Laphria?

Laphria
Ugly? In no way. I've met many humans I liked less. Laphria? Yes. Probably thoracica but angle is difficult. L. thoracica often have this orange leg effect. And the other visible markings are right. The giant Laphria grossa and lata should be emerging this week in much of the east. Watch for them. They are not ugly either.

Yes, Laphria:-)
Ugly? Maybe if you think "Laugh-ri-a" it will get prettier:-)
