No, it's not T. bombylans, because this is a species from the Nearctic, and there is no bombylans there.
There are several species who looks like this: balyras, barberi, obscurum and trifasciatum.
When I interpret the picture right, it seems that tergite 5 is extensively yellow pilose, and of these four species only T. balyras has that feature.
So, my idea would be a male of Temnostoma balyras! B)
