Hydrogen Bond Acceptor Strength Help

Hey,

I'm trying to understand the hydrogen bond accepting strength of pyridine. Because its lone pair is delocalised in the ring does this mean it is less able to form hydrogen bonds than an amide, for example?

EDIT: sorry I realised that the LP isn't delocalised in the ring, does this still affect its acceptor strength?

Thank you
