Looks like it. Antenna is unusually dark, though.
Could you make a dorsal view of the fly ?

Here it is.
I noticed the dark antennae, too, but with the other properties I couldn't find a fitting alternative to arpadi.

It is rather atypical, but I have no alternative for arpadi

Thanks! Also the two species that I found listed for Austria, but not mentioned in the book (borealis, nigricornis) don't seem to be very similar to this one.
