Prionyx sp.
This is definitely a species of Prionyx. Relatively compact body, short petiole, globose abdomen are all characters to look for.

 
Thanks, Eric!
I'll add that information to the guide page.

Sphecid...
I know it's a sphecid, in fact I know it's in the subfamily sphecinae. I think it might be in the genus Palmodes, but you'll have to wait for someone more experienced with sphecids to confirm this.

 
Thanks, Nick
I'll move it to sphecids and hope for further identification later.
