I found this Haematopota sp. on the shore of a river. I found the eyes to be a bit strange. Is it simply Haematopota pluvialis with damaged eyes or a different species?

Haematopota crassicornis, I'd say.

Paul, it is a male, the shape of the first antennal segment is strongly sexual dimorph.

So crassicornis it is certainly not, but difficult to be more positive, most likely either pluvialis or subcylindrica.
