Yep probably the starter, it's a pain to try to bench test and reproduce the issue too because by the time you get the starter off and over to the test bench it's usually cooled down enough that it's working again.
If you have 100k or so miles on it just replace the thing as preventative maintenance even if it doesn't fix the problem (but it's likely the problem).
I've had very limited success using a heat gun on the test bench to make the starter hot to simulate actual conditions but it's tricky, you need a second set of hands almost and the use of an infrared temp gun to be accurate and not damage anything from overheating it.
