It could be Chrysis cf. ignita. Perhaps someone will do a more reliable ID.:)

not one of the ignita group as they have apical (visible) tergite with 4 points. there are some Chrysis species with a smooth apical margin to t3 however i suspect this is Chrysura, i find a very similar looking insect commonly in Mallorca.
