Zethus potter wasp
Cool! Richard, we need this one for the field guide! This is a female Zethus spinipes, related to potter wasps (Eumenes), but the petiole (stalk between abdomen and thorax) is different. Outstanding profile shot, good work!

Thanks for the ID, Eric.
I'm certainly gaining a bigger appreciation for wasps because of this insect photography hobby.
