Perhaps a wasp?

Perhaps a wasp?
Elkton, Douglas County, Oregon, USA
July 16, 2008
Size: no more than 1/2 inch
Anyone's guess would be as good as mine, but an actual ID would be even better.

To me, this bug has the head/eyes of some wasps I've seen. It also had a fairly long, yellow abdomen with dark stripes.

Sorry for the poor image quality, but whatever it is, it stayed around for just the one quick shot. Hope it's at least good enough for a partial ID.
