Proctotrupid is correct…
You can see 11 flagellar antennal segments (same in both sexes), the forewing with a distinctive stigma, and spindle-shaped abdomen. In many females, the abdominal apex is typically curved downward, so this might be a male, but this may not apply to all species.

See reference here.
