Is this Philonicus albiceps?

I saw this robberfly in Dutch dunes (Amsterdamse Waterleiding Duinen) last sunday. In open terrain, bare sand patches within dry grassy vegetation. Trees and forest nearby. Medium sized robberfly, say 12 - 15 mm.

I thought that the white spines on the scutellum give away its identity. Is that correct?
Thanks for your attention

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
