Ormyrus…
You can see some pits dorsally in the gaster. This appears to be a male which is somewhat smaller than the female.

See reference here.

Moved
Moved from Unidentified Galls.
They're cynipid galls, but this is a parasitoid. Don't forget to record what kind of oak!

 
White oak
I'm pretty sure this was on white oak.
