It looks like a Xylota - in Britain i'd say X. segnis, though I don't know whether additional species are present in your part of Europe

Hello,
as I can't see the expected strong, spine-like bristles under the hind femur, even on enlarged picture on Makro Freak web site, I would prefer to say it is a male Xylota tarda.

Regards.
