debatable
It looks more like C. australior. The two "species" seem to intergrade to the west and east of the main rainge of C. australior, and should probably be called subspecies. Regardless of that (and the fact that this is probably the from the "blend zone"), this one would fit C. australior better, and it's a beautiful image of a beautiful insect.
