Likely…
A view of the front of the face would help in the confirmation.

Thanks Ross -
unfortunately, none of my many photos show that... :) I'll try to remember for next time.

No worries…
After review, other pertinent features come into view such as the short pronotum, a pointed abdomen, the wing venation and pterostigma, dilated fore femurs (not always seen), dorsal sutures on the thorax, and what appears to be 13 antennal segments whuch suggests a male. I think we are good on this ID. Thanx, Ken.

See reference here.
