Not P. fuscatus?
I will not try to do an expert's job here but are you sure this is P. fuscatus?
The tips of the antennae look to be red which, in even southern specimens of fuscatus, should be darker? Not sure on that
…
Vespula vulgaris

No, I am not sure.
I am here to learn and if your comment is the general opinion then I will tag and move these. I thought that the images showed interesting stages of life.
