Hi, this male was found on Platanus hybrida tree sap. Can someone help to ID the species?

Can you make better shots of the frons and the base of the fore leg?

With these large shining patches almost touching the eyes and this shape of the surstylus, it must be
Aulacigaster falcata Papp, 1997.

A. falcata should have yellowish brown to yellowish orange humeri and fore coxae. The pictures above show a somewhat less dark humerus (cannot really judge whether it is yellowish brown to yellowish orange from these images) and I cannot see much yellowish brown to yellowish orange on the fore coxae from this position, but perhaps they are that colour...
