Looks like it.
Its kinda tough with these dark aphids, but I would expect Aphis craccivora to have longer siphunculi, and Aphis fabae generally has a more triangular cauda, this one looks digitate. Matches the other images of Aphis craccae I'm seeing. Would need a cleared and slide mounted specimen to be positive!
