I got this parasitoid from the olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae) in central Italy a few days ago.

Could you please help me in the ID?

Thank you very much!

I found it might be the Braconid Chelonus eleaphilus, so the same olive was probably infested both by the olive fruit fly and by the olive moth (Prays oleae), from which this parasitoid hatched.
