Summary: Pileus shouldn't bruise

For this to be A. subrutilescens only the gills should stain and they should become darker pink. It also shouldn’t have an almondy odor and the cap should be darker (wine colored). That said, it does look like a pale A. subrutilescens. This might actually be something like Agaricus arorae. I’d have to have more precise info on the staining reactions and the odor to know for sure. Without that info, I’d call it Agaricus sp.
