Superficially it looks OK for Cx. pipiens, but there seems to be an indication of white rings on the tarsi; and the pale bands on the abdominal tergites are very even. As a rule the bands expand along the lateral margin in pipiens. So I'm left wondering whether this might be a Culiseta species, such as morsitans. Fortunately Culiseta have a good character to check - they possess prespiracular setae, which Culex don't have.
