Could be H. punctatus or H. brisbanensis. It seems to me the thorax is less furrowed and more like H. brisbanensis (I couldnt choose that in the Identification mask).

The thorax is punctured - depends on the light sometimes. H. brisbanensis thorax is more even and the legs are red-brown. H. punctatus name has changed to H. exlautum. H. punctatus now refers to an earlier named Indonesian species. iNat has changed to the new name but not the AFD yet.
