Not an ant
It's a wingless ichneumonoid, either a braconid or an ichneumonid (can't say which).

Hymenopteran
Hymenopteran, yes, but it looks like a wasp rather than an ant.

Thank you
Based on comments from yourself and Hardstreet, combined with Eric Eaton's comment, I've moved these images to the guide page for the Subfamily Gelinae. Thanks again.
