Yes, Braconidae.
This is a nice little braconid wasp, maybe genus Agathus? Likely that subfamily anyway. The elongated "face" suggests the ID.

thx Eric
On my end, I'm going to keep it just braconid for now. I went back and looked through my pics, and I have a female braconid that looks like it may be the same species from last year. Another fellow and you were discussing whether it would be Agathininae or Braconinae (specifically Atanycolus).
