T. fera and magnicornis can be very difficult to separate, although most specimens are no problem.
Let's start to see that this is a female: third antennal segment relatively slender and pulvilli shorter (difficult to see: out of focus).
The tarsi are orange, the third antennal segment is largely orange, the black abdominal vitta is tapering towards abdominal tip: all features of T. fera. So I have no doubt this is T. fera
