Doubtful. The pale markings on the tergites appear too large for tibialis and the records may be too late in the year for that species. Perhaps it is masoni (pale markings too small) but the key I have relies of characters in the genitalia (although I have my doubt about the quality of the key iun general) and I do not have to original description of masoni to check other characters than those mentioned in the key. Chorisops caroli is also similar but should have a more blue-ish metalic mesonotum.
