Dzień dobry, Bart! I think it's a Chrysis ignita.

with this colouration (partly green)? Also in "Die Goldwespen Mitteleuropas" (Wiesbauer, Rosa, Zettel) one can read, that the Chrysis ignita group (with C. ignita being one of the rarer to very rare species) cannot be identified from photos. DNA barcoding is recommended.

Thank you for your comment, Jurgen. Should be better to caption it as a Chrysis sp. in the ignita-complex? Or would you have any other suggestion?

I don't know, whether this one belongs to the C. iginita complex or is some other Chrysis. Very difficult family...
