Probably it turns out to be cingulatus or atricapillus. But there is somthing bothering me. The legs are not cingulatus and the genital is not atricapillus(lacks the "beard" just before it on the belly side) Also shape and colour of genital don't seem to be right.

Could this be Tolmerus pyragra?

Genital and last segments.

Yes, could be. But I think, this specimen can not be identified with certainty to species level. The intersegmental skin at the tip of the abdomen is somewhat swollen, so the "lab" on the 8th sternit may be obscured in this view angle. I for myself believe that there is a lab (--> atricapillus) as indicated by some longer hairs where otherwise no one would be.
