This one has been perplexing for two years. I'm thinking something in Anomaloninae, but getting nowhere. Thanks

Moved from Ichneumonid Wasps.

Looks quite a bit like this one, actually...


Not an ID; just an observation. :)

 
I was thinking the same thing
The body looks right, but the wings are shorter and abdomen longer. Thanks for looking, Ken. Hopefully we'll find out soon.

I'm not convinced the abdomen is that much shorter.
Rather, it seems to be stretched out in this specimen, and curled in the previous one. Certainly would be nice to have an expert opinion, though.
