98 % of Physocephala in central Europe is rufipes.
SO, in my experience, Physocephala = rufipes unless there is an obvious reason it isn't.
And as far as I can tell (can't see all features), this one fits rufipes.As does the period of the year in which the photo was taken (Ph. nigra is more a spring / early summer species).
