The antennae in the last image seem to me to match those for the male O. antipoda shown on the supporting PDF file 'Óxycanus Identification' to Mov Part 6.

It's very hard to compare the length of antennal branches, and I don't disagree with Ian's assessment. But even taking into account the wing pattern variability in both species, this looks like a typical O. silvanus.
