There is much resemblance with E. lineata, especially the orange colour of the hind margins of the tergites. However, the dark zigzag pattern of the wings seems to be very weak, and I cannot clearly see the pale basis of femur 3 (compare https://www.dipte...d_id=69074). So I would prefer to name this male E. cf. lineata. I do not know whether there might be similar species in Greece...
