Thanks!

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.
