Occupant was definitely an Ichneumonid...
As showed by wing venation.

Several more images filed under Braconids
It would be nice to get these all together someplace.

Yep
they look very similar. Thanks.

Should turn out to be an ichneumon or braconid. Please do record the occupant when it eventually hatches.
