I think this is Erynnia ocypterata.

It is either that, of Ligeria angusticornis, which is amazingly similar on picture.
In my opinion, it is the latter.
Arguments:
* it is a male, given the length of third antennal segment
* however, there are 2 pairs of proclinate orbital setae
* the prae-alar seta seems short (but very difficult to see !)
* there are 3 humeral bristlles (only 2 in Erynnia)
