I think that your identification is correct, T. aemula.
In T. aemula the occiput is not completely shiny, it is with smaller area of pruinosity than in T. arrogans (just a spot on middle portion). T. aemula is somewhat variable in wing length.
The best comparison of these species can be found in Collin's British Empididae (p. 85).
