Zechariah 12:10 say's And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of GRACE and supplication. They will look on me, the one who they pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child.
Who is speaking here?

This is the great day when Christ returns in glory, and Israel will finally recognize Him as Messiah, seeing the spear wound yet in His side (John 19:37; Revelation 1:7) and the nail prints in His hands (Zechariah 13:6). By His "spirit of grace and of supplications" God will open their eyes and hearts, and "all Israel shall be saved" (Romans 11:26).

There are some Bible critics who say that the change in style of writing from chapter 9 onward indicates that that section could not have been written by Zechariah. The change in style, however, is certainly no greater than the change in subject matter would justify. Whereas the first eight chapters deal with matters of more present importance to the people of Zechariah’s day, in chapters 9 to 14 the prophet looks forward into a more distant future. Some have queried why it is that Matthew quotes Zechariah but attributes his words to Jeremiah. (Matt. 27:9; Zech. 11:12)
It appears that Jeremiah was at times reckoned as first of the Later Prophets (instead of Isaiah, as in our present Bibles); hence Matthew, in referring to Zechariah as “Jeremiah,” could have been following the Jewish practice of including a whole section of Scripture under the name of the first book of the section. Jesus himself used the designation “Psalms” to include all the books known as the Writings.—Luke 24:44.
Up to chapter 6, verse 8, the book consists of a series of eight visions, similar in type to those of Daniel and Ezekiel, relating generally to the temple’s reconstruction. These are followed by pronouncements and prophecies regarding sincere worship, restoration, and Jehovah’s day of war.

Zechariah the prophet of God, is speaking regarding 'The Holy Spirit (a spirit of grace and supplication) and the Messiah, Jesus Christ (the one who they pierced).

God, as explained...
"And I will pour over David's house and over Jerusalem's inhabitants a breath of grace and of supplications, and they (referring to David's house and Jerusalem's inhabitants) will look to Me (referring to G-d) on account of the one that they (referring to the nations of verse 9) have pierced, and they shall mourn for him ..."
with him being...
"Thus, in Zechariah 12.10, it is the gentile nations who shall look to G-d, whom they have attacked by persecuting and inflicting great suffering on "him," Israel, whose deceased will be mourned by the survivors of that nation."

God is speaking. He is also referring to the Holy Spirit. when He speaks of being pierced He is also referring to the piercing in the side of Jesus as He hung on the cross. for God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ is one.

It depends on who you ask. If you'd like to get the answer from the folks whose prophets actually wrote it, then use the link below. (Imagine that! Asking the people to whom it belongs!)

I would have to read the full context of the verse, but it sounds like God.
