yes to male Pollenia species.
The altitiude and location is a problem because Greece has a few Pollenia that aren't found in Central Europe. Pollenia are very difficult to identify even with genitalia. The photos are not so good. Pollenia require many angles for a possibility of a group: facial keel, carina, hind tibia, basicosta, wing, marginal scutellar bristles. Note that the basicosta can be variable, thus it is merely helpful with other photos.
