Small Wasp? - Tachysphex

Small Wasp? - Tachysphex
Brighton, Northumberland, Ontario, Canada
August 9, 2008
Size: 1/4 inch +/-
I thought perhaps I might have submitted this little wasp previously but I think this one is chunkier and the wings are shorter. The sun was very bright, so there is a lot of lost detail. These two shots were all I got, then he/she flew away. Help with ID please.
