With that black vitta on abdomen strongly broadened, could it be Ectophasia leucoptera (mâle) ?

The dark vitta is not broadened, it is broad. There is a difference.
This is a melanistic form, can't tell from these pics what it is.
if you collected it: look at the colours of the hypopleural bristles.

Otherwise, it is Ectophasia spec. There is no reason why it could not be crassipennis.
