yeah, I have photo of Ebaeus flavicornis, which looks allmost the same as this one:

but is of size 2 mm, this one was 5 mm.
Does size matter in this case, or is still Ebaeus sp ?

There are more very similar species in Ebaeus genus. I can ID them under microscope only... Are you sure your "E. flavicornis" photo is correctly IDied? Very similar is Hypebaeus flavipes, which is smaller.
