Hybrid functionals in density functional theory have become the state-of-the-art for the calculation of electronic properties of solids. The key to their performance is how and in which amount a part of Fock exchange is mixed with semi-local exchange-correlation functionals. We propose here a material dependent and local mixing parameter which is a functional of the electron density alone, through an estimator of the local dielectric function inspired by the work done in Phys. Rev. B 83, 035119 (2011). This new functional is by construction an approximation of the GW self-energy and it enables therefore calculations of quasiparticle energy levels of comparable quality as GW, but at the reduced cost of a hybrid density functional. In contrast with other recent self-consistent schemes for the mixing parameter, our approach does not require to calculate the dielectric function and leads to a negligible increase of the computation time.
