No.
It is Solieria pacifica, well known from the river district and Limburg.
Dinera grisescens is indeed pretty similar in habitus.

I always have trouble in the field with
Dinera grisescens vs
Solieria sp. ... they have very similar colouring and dusting and they even have 2 pairs of scutellar bristles (an odd feature in its own right). If you can see a central facial ridge and/or plumose arista then it would indicate the
Dinera but if you can't see either then it is difficult :)
