It is definitely not Anthrax georgicus, since this one is not found in Austria, but US. I have some slight suspicion that it actually and really might be Hemipenthes morio, although I must admit, that I did not found any key criteria. Body/head relation, however, seems to match rather for Anthrax anthrax. Besides the cleared wing area might be smaller in Anthrax (and yours) than in Hemipenthes morio, so I am really not sure whch one it is...
