I am afraid this is not Machimus setibarbus which is a much stouter creature and has a bold projection on the last sternite ;) This looks much closer to some kind of Tolmerus to me. However, some Machimus are very similar too and these genera are difficult to tell apart. Sorry I cannot help more with this one :( My knowledge of Greeek Asilidae species is rather limited :(

I think Tolmerus cf atripes is good candidate...
