I think a species of Syritta :-?

S. flaviventris ranges from the Mediterranean (Spain to Bulgaria and Turkey), south to South Africa (Cape of Good Hope),

Syritta flaviventris looks similar, Syritta pipiens would better fit, but the latter is not included in the list here :-?

One would need to check all from the list O/

Syritta bulbus does look not too bad :shock:

Syritta fasciata also looking alike =O:
