Oberea perspicillata
I think this is Oberea perspicillata with a reduced, black basal pronotal margin. It could also be a version of O. affinis with dark pronotal spots, which does occur, but I think that is more uncommon. There are other characteristics that I cannot see here to distinguish them. so its a best guess for me.
