Male Syritta. I don't know, if there are additional species in the mediterranean region. Here in central Europe we only have pipiens.

P.S.: Better place hoverflies in the Syrphidae subforum. Bigger chance to catch the specialists' attention.

Thank you, Juergen.
Educated guess: Syritta pipiens.

2 species in the 1995 checklist:
