Everyone has already covered points that I'd like to cover, so I'll say this: When clients give me a pose reference, I always make it clear that I will use it as a rough base. They will not get the same angle and exact same positioning. I will not copy it directly.
From the image in question, it is not illegal, no, but it isn't exactly kosher and honest to do so. A nice rule of thumb is asking yourself if you would like to have the same thing done to your art. :)
I would add the citation and then simply no longer copy poses directly.
